Southport Corporation 89 VWM89L - B10B6514 - 27/03/2013 12:08

Just been looking on Flickr and I'm pleased to see 89 is still alive. After several fruitless appearances on Ebay last year I thought it had met its maker. Unfortunately it has lost its middle doors but survival outweighs that!

By carrying on looking at his latest uploads Crosville VR WTU485W and even more remarkarkably ex-Llandudno Dennis PAX FJC736F still intact even if a little forlorn.

The centre doors reside in my garden shed.

As far as I know 89 is still in London after being sold last year.

It's a remarkable survival rate - four out of the ten Southport Atlanteans still exist.

I have no personal history with them, but I think they're absolutely gift-looking buses - even sexier than the similar-ish AL-bodied PTE Atlanteans.

Given a sizeable Lottery win, one would certainly be desirable on my front drive, if only to annoy my next door neighbour, whose huge motor caravan blocks my view of one end of my street Smile

Latest update appears to be 13 January going by the Facebook page, more solar panels fitted so seemingly still in use?

This is 89 when owned by Kas, shortly before being sold to its present owner. Usonthebus web address is from the time it was owned by The Weller family who took it over to France.

This is from back in 06 when it was being converted to a motor home by Brian Weller.
