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.

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.
