A life-long fascination with buses fails to hide in this musician and TV star's garage

FUZZ TOWNSHEND

Fuzz Townshend needn't have given F me his address. As we enter the small Leicestershire village where he lives, Xor, in this case, a 54-year-old double-decker service bus - marks the spot. For not only does the 58-year-old presenter of TV's Car SOS and Shed & Buried own an eclectic mix of classic cars, as you'd expect, but also an ex-West Midlands 1969 Daimler Fleetline. And at 14ft 9in high, 33ft long and 8ft 2in wide, it's a bit of a landmark.
