• Belle Vue, Manchester, was the venue for ADT Auctions first dedicated bus and coach sale of the year. The sale was attended by more than 130 registered buyers who had travelled from as far afield as Scotland, Eire, South Wales, Kent and Cornwall.
Nearly 100 vehicles were offered for sale. The top price of the day went to a 1984 Scania 112 Executive coach, (pictured) which sold for £49,000. A Mercedes Dubrava 3200, less than a year old, sold for £42,500 ex-VAT. A 1982 Volvo coach with a full-luxury spe cification and seating 53 passengers realised a selling price of £26,000.
The oldest vehicle sold on the day was a Bristol ECW single-decker which had seen 22 years service, it made 21,050 (all prices are ex-VAT).
Derek Bolt, ADT's conunercial manager says "The high entry of vehicles and excellent turnout of registered buyers reflects the interest in establishing a market for this type of vehicle. We shall be building on this initial success with a further bus and coach only sale at Belle Vue on May 22."
