Ah yes! Apologoies - I see your point lol. I wonder how many operators will go for the exahust mods - it's all well and good TfGM paying for them, but once they warranty runs out it will be down to the operators to sort them out when they get clogged etc! I worked for a local company with 10 modified euro6 exhaust buses by a reputable brand, and they were out almost every week fixing issues with the exhausts for the entire time I was there! (Limp mode, emissions lights, replacing parts, performing modifications, etc).

What I am saying is having the age limit set so low means some shady operators may claim their 20 year old vehicle is exempt because at 20 it's classed as preserved. Very few operators would operate anything 30 or over but 20 is feasible. There are still some Olympians about and the newest are over 20.

Are my 23 and 25 year old preserved buses not genuine then? Interested to hear what I can do to make these genuine, as after spending a lot of time and money on them I do believe myself that they are genuinely preserved, however I can see that you think that isn't the case.
