Hi all, does anybody know where MG74 (MGS74) went to after being removed from School Duties in Navan in approx 2000 or 2001? Was she scrapped or was she bought
by somebody? If so do u know where she is at the minute? REG NO. 74 IK

Thanks for that, that was my old schoolbus. I can't believe somebody bought that bus, when we had it it was always a heap of junk.

It needs alot of work just like any preserved "MG" - the bodywork was shook to bits by the Detroit 6-71 under the floor... typical "MG"
problem, I wouldn't call it a heap of junk, I've seen worse...

Hi KC48. Do u have any pictures of MG74, either since she has been preserved or when she was out on the road on service or school duties at ANY time of her
life? I would love to see it please. Does 74 ever go out to any Vintage shows in the country? Or indeed any of the M's ?

MG74 is as acquired and has not been on the rally circuit. MG210 was restored in Expressway livery and is now under restoration again. MG205 was stripped and completely rebuilt and is now awaiting finishing. There are others awaiting restoration but none are out and about just yet. There is a small gallery on the Ms here. Tec-Ireland KC168.

Thanks for that KC168, much appreciated. Any idea what ever happened to M162 & M165, or if they are preserved or anything or if they are still in the
country?

I have pics of MG74 dating back to October 2001 after it came off schools, but I'd have to dig them out - M162 & M165 were both scrapped in Louth
Commercials by July 2002

Thanks KC48. If you would be able to throw up a few photo's whenever u get a chance of my old schoolbus MGS74 i would be very grateful. I haven't seen
it since around that time, when it was then replaced by (a now scrap victim) PLS67. Would love to see the pic's whenever u get a chance. Thanks a million

Are the old manuals for the "M"'s worth anything now........I came across one I got YEARS ago at home earlier today.
