I love the clasic old look that you captured. wethered and never been touched to make nice. Your composure captured alot of old bus. I like it as you managed to great the perfect angle getting a good coverage of the entire side and front showing the old and untouched touched structure. The faded paint shows the age that it is with all the mismatch of faded red paint. i love the fact that it has aged with beuty still there as the original state. awesome.

I haven't seen one of these for a very long time unless it has been fully restored. I absolutely love what you have captured from the past and where our future came from. In it's original attire, untouched by anyone . The authentication of the old stagecoach as it still stands today. It reminds me of the old western movies i used to watch growing up and the name rings a few bells. I don't think you can get any authentic and original than this. I absolute love it.

As a cruiser, i love the big boats, it is always sad to see the way that these big beutys are left to just decay over time. so original untouched, it is nice to see that it mostly appears to be still intact which leads me to maybe beleive that this old girl might still be used here and there. like the shot old and original.

An old classic, beaten and weary and totally original. Sitting there with the faded clear coats all over the taxi in all its perfect yellow. The old vehicle behind looks in pretty origanl state, again looks untouched and both preserved just as they are today and were years before as the clear coat gradually peels away over years past. nice to see.

What a spectacular sight. Seeing the old paddle boat actually traveling under the harbor bridge in Sydney, my home town, I have seen this boat anchored in the wharf, I don't believe that it sails any longer but i might be wrong. To see it in all its glory from way back then is a pleasure to see, very different to how it looks today, I'm pretty sure that its the same boat. What love about it is that it's all original and very authentic.

The style, the colour, and of course the antique of this. I remember the days when my dad used to drive buses very simalier to this. A clasic as it stands, with all the rusty water runs all over the paint work showing the age and the beuty. Although its just a frontal image but i think that this image says a lot for the image as its own class of bus. you see alot of this era but they are normaly restored or totally rotton. I like this as its origanal state as it is. love it.

Reminds me of the old days travelling to and from work by train, almost exactly as this one. I love the look, the faded paint, the rustyness of the bottom panels showing, so original and authentic. I am happy to see that this has not been touched and still as orignal as can be. To restored them in this condition would have been a shame and to have taken away the current glory that it shows. All it needs is a little love and care. awesome find , love it

An old classic, looking just the way it should be, nicely retained in it's original state. The black & white image i think does it so much more justice than a colour image. The faded paint seen and old look from not being restored at all leaving all of it originalty showing. I love it and nice to see it as original as it stands. Fantastic, well done love it.

A very differant image from the normal. The pride of the skys back in its day, still as orignal as can be with nothing touched to change it and that these are not easy to find anymore. it is so nice to see these old aircraft that still fly, taking the beating by the weather. Although these both may have been restored at some stage of there life, they are still kept pretty original. I like it.

Well when this popped up my heart sank, and i looked at it again several times over before i was sure of what i was looking at. .co.nz and the route number confirmed what i was l.ooking at. im origanally from Wellington New Zealand and i used to work for the old Wellington city transport then turned to stagecoach when it was given to tender. The 400 seroius, a pre numeric gearbos route bus, the one that i actully used to drive on route in the mid nintys. Im am so glad that this came up becuase it took me away. sorry but this has to be my number one choice. A sad day to see it in this state, wether torn and delapitated to say the least. well done to you for the shot. i would have like to see a bit more detail about the old girl, just another memory for me and one that supprised me, i would have thought they were all but gone today. you took my heart away and now it aches. fantastic. they were my favourite to drive.
