About us

We have had to swap our vehicle about due to issues with our 1998 Dennis Dart From Rossendale. This has now been replaced with this 2000 Dennis Dart which has been around unlike the Rosendale one. We are still collecting the information and history of this vehicle. However with what we know so far it was in Keighley for a while and our pick up location was Cornwall where the vehicle was with St-Ives bus company. This vehicle managed the full 300 mile trip to its new home with us without a problem.

This Project like many needs your support. There is many different ways you can support the project. You can find all of these on our Support us link at the top of the page. The best way is though a membership to us and our projects.

The Rossendale Dart Comes to an End

After starting a major restoration and the inside of this going rather well. We was looking at trying to sort the engine. This gave us a choice which was pretty much getting a replacement engine fitted. The cost of this was massive with some draw backs to having it done as well which was more logistical problems than anything.

For the same price well less we had an opportunity to get another Dart. In a ideal world we would love to keep both of the vehicles and work on 114 as and when however with a very tired engine. It just would take a very long time of it sitting there with nothing happening. So it was decided although we have put a lot of work into the vehicle and granted the outside looks very good, There is no point of having a mint outside if the inside and the powerplant is no good.
