    Isle of Man Transport 134 Restoration Part 2
    Our original intention was to restore 135, we then heard about two other Ex Portsmouth buses 134 and 144 lying in a field near Kirk Michael, we made an offer to the owner for 1 of them but ended up with 2! so all in all we had a fleet of 3 Atlanteans at one stage. We decided 134 would be best for restoration as it still retained its double doors. So the plan is to sandblast and paint all the chassis, service all the mechanicals and rebuild and paint the body work.

    135 being dismantled for spares
    Ex Portsmouth Corporation Leyland Atlantean 321 came to the Isle of Man in 1991 when bought by Isle of Man transport and became number 35 then re numbered 135 at a later date, it lasted in service till approx 1998 after which it was stored at Ronaldsway Airport, in 2006 I was given the chance to have 135 with a view to restoring it, that plan all changed when we found 134, which was in slightly better condition we decided to restore this instead. So 135 was dismantled to supply us with a good load of spares for the restoration of 134.

    Welcome
    This Fotopic site is to follow the restoration of Ex Isle of Man Transport Leyland Atlantean 134. This bus was new to Portsmouth Corporation in 1978 as UOR320T with fleet number 320, the bus was sold to Isle of Man Transport in 1991 and took on Manx reg CMN34C the bus lasted in service until 1999. The bus was sold on where it sat in a field in the west of the Island,
    We bought the bus in 2006.
    We intend to fully refurbish the chassis, brakes, steering and swap the engine from sister bus 135, once this is all done we'll start the body work restoration.

    We also have some Photographs from the Late Greg Corrin which I've scanned, this is a very interesting collection of buses bought second hand and new by Isle of Man Road Services and Isle of Man Transport during the 1970's and 1980's.
