Hi Jigs,

Great to hear from you, glad you are enjoing the forums. Personally I can't keep away myself.

RHD is hard to find anywhere these days. I never realised being into splittys would require so much patience... all worth it of course.

Now, not that I want to promote these guys ('stealing' buses from our shores) but in the interests of sharing...

I have never used them nor do I know anyone that has but its somewhere to look.

If you did find a bus you liked here they might help move it for you too.

But seriously Dude, your market should be UK... more choice and better price. (their rarity here drives up their price)

Be sure and let us know what you find in the end.

Happy travels

Very true the chase is half the fun.

I emailed them aaagggeess ago but never heard back from them. I figured they were not that interested in finding me a bus locally.

My chase lasted just under 3 years. I eventualy had to go to the U.S. to find my bus (it's still there actually) but then I wanted a 15 window and there are not too many of those here (or anywhere).

Have fun on the hunt
