Usualy I do not like the Models of Yesteryear that much bud this bus goes good together with the other busses of the 1-75 series.
It received fresh paint, new labels and a new driver.

No Stephan, it was the Vauxhall car factory I worked at, but would love to have been at Lesney.

Your restoration on the 'Yesteryear' bus is first class, this has definite resale opportunites.

This Jaguar received a new hood.
The Hood needed some filler and several layers of grounding.

You have done a good job working with all the cast replacement parts. It's unusual to have one of these parts that can be used without working on it.

Great Jaguar Malibu, if only Lesney painted it in White, we could all play at classic 'British Cops'n Robbers' films, where the crooks always seemed to be in a White Jaguar......until it crashed off the edge of a cliff!!

Is that the same type of Jag that i recall seeing in that 70's TV series 'The Sweeney', all the getaway drivers had one if i am not mistaken?

The tow hook was chewed off (not by me) so I removed it completly and closed the slot in the bumper where it normally goes thru.
