'Dodgeing' Out Of The Way?

Posted by Mark Elliott on June 18, 2009 at 8:05 PM

Haven't seen any privately owned Dodge's of WY around or for sale since they were wfu in the early 1990's?

 

Remember Odsal's Dodge in the Dayglow colours - nice!!

 

Odsal, Bradford & Fgreen all ran 1 Dodge for years along with most other stations.

 

The TUA 38 registrations, Some of the earlier machines Bradford's pump WSS 666S? I recall.

 

They were renowned for  Rotting & 'Falling to bits thou' Lol!!!

 

Any pictures to post?

 

Many Thanks.

Mark Elliott.

Mark Elliott has got the registration number of the Dodge appliance slightly wrong. The letters 'SS' during 1977/8, when the 'S' suffix number was issued, was allocated to the Aberdeen Authority. I think the correct registration was WWW 666S.
Referring to his comments about the Dodges being "Rotting & Falling to bits," a more serious problem with the earlier versions was that some were bad starters, the one at Wakefield CHL 200K was particularly bad and sometimes would not start at all. It ended up painted in wokshop derwent grey livery and was transferred to driving school.

The Dodge registration should be WWR 666S NOT WWW 666S.
