Yep, you're right on all counts (the trip was an Autoshite gathering). That is indeed Andy Campbell, and the bus belongs to David Fowler.
IMG_20180608_105122330 by max_burton, on FlickrThe bus is a 1990 ex-HK Olympian with a Cummins L10, originally used by Hong Kong Citybus. It was exported back to the UK with tens of others to kickstart Megabus, where an age-masking private plate (since removed), luggage racks and a toilet were added. After this it did a stint as a school bus for Stagecoach in Fife and possibly somewhere else before entering preservation. Searching 'H987RKG' brings up lots of images of the bus throughout its life.

The oil light came on on the Rover yesterday, all seemed to be well so I gave it a top up and it went out. Must change the oil filter soon.
I've finally put my radio in having acquired some wiring adapters to refit the ISO connectors some plonker lopped off, and found that all the speakers work
they didn't all on the old setup, and the radio didn't seem to have bal/fad controls so I was stuck. Further to that the radio reception was terribly weak and could barely pick up BBC stations - there was no hope for anything else. However the new radio has highlighted that the front speakers are pretty worn out and buzz a bit so I'll have to replace them at some point.
The bodyshop is looming, being three weeks away now, so my focuses for the car are keeping it clean and preparing it for that - there are a couple of trim pieces I'd like to seek out, and a new passenger mirror.
After that I've got the car booked in to the classic parking at Festival of the Unexceptional down in Buckinghamshire in July - being a 1990 car it just about slips in (though I've heard the organisers don't care too much about slightly newer 'modern classics').
I also need to sort out the headlining at some point, as I've noticed it's merely tucked under the C pillar trims at the rear corners - suggesting the entire headlining has come unbonded.
