M3MJS again, this time with friends. Photographed at the same location, but on 20th May 2012, Volvo recovery truck M3MJS was parked alongside veteran Scania UJF182. The latter is believed to be for sale, and has since been given an E-prefixed registration. The UJF182 mark will presumably then go onto the Volvo. On the left is Ford Transit minibus S549XNP, with parts of various other vans visible beyond. On the right is a Mercedes Sprinter minibus with an identity crisis. Registration number P852OLL was worn by minibus E58, last used by London General from Plough Lane in late 2011. It carried East Thames Buses logos until the end. However, similar E22 (R963SLL) last worked from Bexleyheath and carried London Central logos. This suggests that the minibus here is E22 with E58's registration plate. Both were replaced by Renault Kangoo vans in late 2011. Ensign previously bought two Sprinter minibuses from Go-Ahead London, though it only retained one (P185OLC). It is not known if P852OLL and/or R963SLL is/are for use, sale or spare parts.

The bonnet/nearside front wing seems to be a slightly different shade of red on E22. An accident repair perhaps using panels from the other vehicle?

As the side logos are ETB it could possibly be E58 with the front panel(s) off of E22 and thus has the correct registration
