Hi I am new to site I have a 1972 crossover bay last winter I dealt with all the underneath rust what a sod! this winter i have just taken the engine and trasmission out to sort leaks. I am trying to keep on road most of the time ,the paintwork is just a blow over after the new panels were fitted will do proper job next winter. you will see either me in the New Forest or around Boscombe and Poole Harbour.

Hello and welcome from a fellow crossover 8)

a bit off post but >>>what defines a "crossover"??? ta for info.

Crossovers are 72model year buses, which have features of both early and late bays.

72s have early features up to the B post, including low indicators and rounded bumpers. Rear end is that of a late bay (square air vents and tall tailights), but with one year only rounded bumpers.

I love my 72, but they are a bit like marmite around these parts.....

Welcome from another Crossover owner who also loves Poole and the surroundings but it's a bit of a trip for me so if i come down just for the weekend it's usually in my modern van and not the Bay. :msn4:

You can also have buses with the high front indicators and early bumpers, and the engine hatch is one year only as well.
