Very nice...must be one of the last Sabre's?

You maybe right there , I think Alexander-Dennis ceased production around 2007 for the Sabre chassis.

Yes, there were only 27 Sabres with later chassis numbers than this.

Does anybody know the significance of the Dennis ref numbers , from memory Dennis classified the Sabres with a SDS type number ranging from 122 up to 353 for the Sabres supplied to Durham for example, I thought that the Rapiers also had a classification number but could never figure what that meant either.

Obviously it must relate to engine/wheeelbase GVW etc, the same as for the old class numbers like SS237 and F108 , I know most of those but not for the later Rapiers and Sabres. Any info would be appreciated thanks a lot
