This East Yorkshire colour scheme introduces a special page for all your requirements for assistance, information, or anything else that our readers may be able to provide. Buy, sell, ask, offer, request - anything you like in connection with our Classic Buses theme. Email your ad to me here. It's all free. Adverts normally stay up for about 4-5 months, unless the advertiser asks to remove it sooner.
In order to avoid folk getting spam from having their email addresses published on this page, I'm now putting a space after the '@' symbol. So john@smith.com becomes john@ smith.com. You will have to remove the space yourself before emailing the advertiser. Sorry for the inconvenience, but it will hopefully save folk getting their addresses picked up by nasty robots, and their mailboxes filled with adverts for strange things.....
************* !!!!!! BEWARE !!!!!! *************
CAUTION !
1. Beware of scam emails offering to send you a cheque for more than the amount you asked for. The buyer then asks for a refund of the excess, and you subsequently discover that the original cheque has bounced.
2. History has proved that ALL inquiries from Nigeria regarding items advertised on this webpage are scams ! Ignore them all.
3. Finally, do not reveal your bank account details over the Internet to people you do not know.

Can you identify this charabanc?
A friend has asked if the 'coach' can be identified in a photograph that shows one of her forebears. Follow the link http://busesandbirds.fotopic.net/p56711857.html to see the picture; I suspect a Dennis, from the ridged bonnet and short louvers in the bonnet sides, though the front mudguards are swept into the running boards, while most Dennis vehicles of that era seem to have had more flared mudguards that dropped below the running board level. Any suggestions would be very welcome to martinjfisher@ care4free.net (remove the space after "@") (3/09)
Townsend's of Princes Risborough
I am writing a book about the Buckinghamshire town of Princes Risborough and during our research a coach firm called Townsend's has been mentioned.

I would really like to include one in our book about the town and was trying to find a picture.
