Here is a selection of noteworthy buses. I've just got the pics, but click on the links for some more detailed info. I have lifted these pictures from other people's sites, but hopefully because I have provided a link back to their source, the original owners won't be too unhappy :)

The famous Saudi Arabian Go Whippet Atlantean, never exported to the desert because it caught fire before the journey, so some bright spark decided not to waste it, but rebuild it instead (and again after a later prang). A most interesting vehicle http://www.the-busman.co.uk/whip05.htm |

Triple Decker, based on London Regent Three RT type bus, used in some Harry Potter kids' flick http://www.killermovies.com/h/harrypotter3/articles/2772.html |

Van Hool have manufactured some interesting vehicles. The first one looks like a wide bodied airport apron bus. The second is a Jumbulance, which I am going to count as a bus. It appears to be articulated, and double decked. Blimey. www.vanhool.com |

And just for good measure, here are a couple of lorries. A four axle Foden Muck Wagon, and a rather large Scammell that most probably drinks fuel. |
