Morning all,
Newspapers, TV, and email seem to be full of this Black Friday thing, where people with too much time on their hands, queue for hours to save a few £ on a new TV or toaster 
Have you, or do you own, a black coloured classic? If so, do you have any photos to hand?
Here's my old Devon, current whereabouts unknown ..
RJ

Trying to hide the non-black bits. I favour the "Buy Nothing Day" approach to this irrelevant consumer day.

The Morris Cowley which departed a year ago:
I'm not a great fan of black cars, but must admit it did suit the Morris. |

Apologies for going off topic, but I'm fascinated by something that's not occurred to me before. How the devil can you work on the offside of a bus engine with the cab in the way?

Hi goneps
Made enquiries for you on a bus site. Took36 minutes ti get a reply.

Tne engine design was usually sucn tnat you didn't much need to (and tnis meant tnat LHD export models needed a different engine - as did tne AEC Q). However, there was a removabie side panel in the cab: which proviided moderate access.
I recall removing a Daimler engine exhaust manifold that way, when it was still warm. Starter motors would usually be found tucked away down there as well.

Thanks, Penman—much as I suspected, then. A different engine for LHD models, indeed! Even worse access than with the current fashion of rear-mounted engines.
London busses prior to the Routemaster were AEC, I think.
