Hi Guys. I have a bit of bad news. U know ones tends 2 believe what people tell u. unfortuanately the 56 turns out 2 be a January 1960 model. A bit disapointing, as I believe the older the better. I spent the whole day taking out a bee hive out of the engine compartment, so I could get 2 the ID tag. Oom Erus just checked the Vin plate.... Jan 1960. Oh well I think I will have 2 look for a older model. Cheers

I do think you should keep looking for the older 50's models, they are a lot more collectable.
And just to help you make space for these more collectable buses,
I will be more then willing to take these newish ones off your hands.. 
Let me know when to fetch them, and the deed will be done...
