    Rust. And brakes. If it has the second and not the first, that's a good start.

    Had one for a few years. Fine bus with a nice cab for its time. In my oninion it was better than a lot of the similar competition of that era mid 80's. As last poster states though rust was the downfall of them. Doors etc and around front windows rust particularly badly and very hard to get replacements. Often found it could be hard enough to start in the cold it would need a good bit of time on the heater and it def preferred to be parked inside on cold nights. You'll need a good battery in it to run heater. That said apart form rust could't fault it really had it for 10 years here until about 4 years ago as main loader tractor did all feeding and was only 2wd. Our one had multipower as well which is handy on the road as we had a fair bit of travelling between land blocks.

    There looks to be a real nice example on donedeal at the moment. Westmeath direction I think. If pictures are anything to go by it looks well minded. Is that the one ur going to see?
