Bristol Leyland B21 - will it run? A look around my ex-Ipswich bus which has not run since 2017.

Back to our preserved bus, a former Ipswich Buses Leyland Bristol B21, with Alexander (Belfast) N-type bodywork. It has not been started for over six years.
Will it run?

We got them with Detriot 2 stroke 6-71 with Allison four speed automatic in Australia. They recieved bodies which were an interesting amalgam of the German VoV design with a National front melded to it. It was a seamless looking match!

Ah, yes... I've seen video of them - an unusual combination all round!

[@FirstSmit]

Good video! Very informative aswell

[@richardwalker_]

Thanks. Will do some more when we get the chance.

What is that rattling/gobbling noise? It sounds like the triffids shaking their thingies in the old SF movie Day of the Triffids! Anyway, lovely to hear the TL11 coming to life. There is nothing to compare wth the sound of these Leyland engines.

Rattling was the camera rig. Unfortunately the attached microphones weren’t recognised by the camera; too late once you get to editing and realise…. It turns out that an Insta 360 One RS charging and microphone adapter isn’t compatible with an older Insta 360 One R.
And you’re right about a TL11. It’s a lovely sound.

[@reynardbizzar5461]

Yes😂I thought of the Triffids too😂😂😂

[@BristolRE]

Sweet!

[@MeerkatGaming]

It’s me!

shame 4015 sits there having not moved for ages - would be a great addition back on the local scene #megathrash....

[@richardwalker_]

Yes, but it’s still there, at least.
