I'm actually partial to that green.

Dutch, when do you head back to the UK? Also, I'm back there a fair bit this year, so nothing stopping us hooking up over there and me taking some shots of the cars in the uk?

Bobbie's colour is Polar Silver (L324) which was a 1955 to 1957 original colour. I have just seen that VW have now a 2007 Polar Silver too but I don't know if it's the same colour.

I hope I am not out of line here, but the green bus looks really cool, but it looked even BETTER before the Rostyles were put on. Just my opinion
