I saw that leigionaire at a car show in York earlier this year. It's a most impressive restoration. Must have cost a fortune.

I saw one (although I'm no expert on coaches so maybe not exactly the same model) parked outside Abingdon Airfield earlier this year when we went to compete in a solo. Stopped with the kids to take a picture.
