Not the original Brexit bus - try googling pictures - but a Channel 4 recreation. BN12CNC is a Mercedes-Benz Tourismo C49Ft coach, new to Pullmanor (Redwing Coaches), Herne Hill, London in March 2012.new to Pullmanor (Redwing Coaches), London in March 2012, auctioned in Leicester in Feb 2018. Is using a Mercedes a subtle joke?? |

It's now owned by Hearns Coaches, Harrow, as seen in a large photo found in a Guardian review of the program. Link to "www.theguardian.com" I haven't seen it (no Channel 4 available here) but Cumberbatch with a bald patch and puffer gilet looks like a typical bus spotter / bird watcher / detectorist to me.  |

Neither more or less than the real Leave campaign using an equally german Neoplan Starliner coach. .gif ";)") |

There are some - Wright, Optare, ADL/Plaxton and maybe something else. Yes, many of their buses are bodies on imported chassis, but they're also making some "integrals" (though in case of HD tourist coach it would be rather "just" body - but still something). Didn't check this recently, but few years ago British bus market was dominated by local manufacturers and was not so easy for foreginers, eg. in case of city buses. |

If you see a "British" bus check for the little VAN HOOL logo. Belgian company specialised in coachwork. |
