Tönz ◊ 2008-02-28 15:32	Seems to be its IMCDb debut. Do you recommend 'Volvo Ailsa' as make and 'B55' as model? Is it of Swedish origin and built in UK or rather completely British?

SteveA ◊ 2008-03-05 22:03	Now I've seen the movie on DVD myself, I believe the green/orange Routemaster in the background is First Glasgow 39365, originally London RML2365 (JJD365D)
