The famous open-top bus which Muhammad Ali rode in during his memorable visit to South Shields has been saved from the scrapyard and restored in full to its former glory.
A team of public transport enthusiasts saved the vintage bus from a Galway scrapyard in 2016, and have worked tirelessly to restore it to its previous pristine state over the last six-years.
And this morning (22 June), the final product was proudly presented to members of the media, who were all invited down to Sea Road in South Shields to gaze in amazement at the restoration works.
