Spotted this yesterday in Alberton! :cry:
Anyone up for some old fashioned detective work?
Might be a bargain if the owner wants to let her go to a good home!

IIRC someone posted pics of those same buses quite recently. Hopefully someone will bring them back to life.

I hate seeing classics or any car treated this way! :evil:
If it's not worth anything to you let it go to someone that will appreciate it! :x

I posted those last year in July, I think they are far gone, don't know if they would be worth fixing, maybe some donor parts can be sourced off them.

@ RiaanJ

Just had a look at your old photos of the Bus, sad to see them neglected like this!
Hell it's getting worse if you look at the Jungle theme garden around them! :(

My Pic was in winter hence no weeds, but all that growth in summer paired with the rain we're having now, probably aids the cancer on these two oldies.

That rear bumper is worth a mission of sorts - if the owner or land owner does'nt get rid of them, the trolley brigade will take them, bit by bit .........
