I want a Pole Carrier. It would look great in my living room. Mind you, I would also like a Czech Transporter and a Swede Mover. (sorry)

Blame the BBC. If it takes 40 poles to make one 'rood' - how many Russians does it take to make one 'offensive'? TW3 1962

Pole carrier for sale again. In the latest issue of 'Bus and Coach Preservation' (Vol 11 No 5 October 2008) published today there is a pole carrier for sale on page II of the Busmart bit at the back. Said to be the only known survivor it's a bargain at GBP2,800 having been dry stored. There is a photo of it in the advert too. But I'm still not sure which one it is as both 1080Q and 1081Q are reported as preserved but I suspect one has been mistaken for the other. It is my belief that 1081Q is the true survivor and is the one that turned up at the Chiswick open-day in 1983. Can anyone out there confirm?
