Northern Irish format xUI xxxx registrations were indeed common at the time, giving the bus or coach a dateless identity. -- Last edit: 2013-07-29 19:37:50

opal ◊ 2014-04-18 16:46	Btw, it's more like Minibus rather than Van.
Robi ◊ 2015-03-18 22:03	Yes, Opal is right, this should be changed into the bus category.
