Details: I waited quite a while for this guy to move but he was in no hurry. Unfortunately his presence means I can't really show the most interesting aspect of this vehicle, which was that it had an additional two seats behind the driver and passenger. We have known that some of the Vauxhall Combo vans in the fleet are listed as '2+2', but I presumed these were perhaps convertible, especially as no extra side windows are provided. It also means that the cargo compartment is not big as it looks, and can only be accessed from the rear doors. 6387V was new in November 2007 and was based at Stanmore for the third platform project. This project was completed in mid-2009 and the vehicle was perhaps being 'overhauled' prior to reassignment. The Bollo Lane Hand Car Wash is in fact on the junction of Stirling Road and Colville Road. The area around here is notable for the concentration of garages and automotive related businesses. 11th August 2009.
