Here is an offer more usually to be found down your local Tescos - Buy One Get One Free on Bristol REs!! Freddie Curry owns two fairly distressed REs which he is not going to get time to restore and would like to pass them on. By far the better of the two is former Colchester OWC 720M which is still in as-withdrawn condition from its last operator, the Blue Bus subsidiary of Busways Travel Services. Anyone buying this one on is also invited to take on rare Marshall-bodied ex-East Midlands RELL6L CRR 537J absolutely FREE OF CHARGE. Freddie is giving this away as a goodwill gesture to anyone willing to preserve and build it up to its former glory. It is not to be taken for scrap. Presently located near Edinburgh, Scotland, whoever acquires this bus will need to arrange to move it at their expense, as soon as possible. Needs one side window. Has no seats, but a full set is available in Nottingham. Front and rear corner panels are also supplied. Fibreglass mould for front panel supplied. Needs Leyland engine and 4 speed gear box. Please phone Freddie on 07718 305813.

The photographs below are of the bus being recovered from a scrap yard in Lincolnshire to Stonegravels, on a damp day in October 2002.
