I emailed the guy to refer him to Gordon Jamieson's book Shetland Buses in the 20th Century . I can't lay my hands on my own copy so I can't confirm it is in there. I wasn't aware of the Italian Job connecction but here is a link http://imcdb.org/vehicle_6521-Bedford-VAL-14-Harrington-Legionnaire-1964.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
