OK Putty, hope this is the kind of thing you're after...
These are from a new book called Scottish Buses: A Colour Portfolio by Gavin Booth, published by Ian Allan.
The pictures are all Gavin's, taken during his time working for various transport companies.
I'm including only a portion of the Glasgow ones, but there are plenty of other interesting pics from other areas of Scotland. I reproduce these here in the genuine hope that they'll stimulate a few people to buy the book, and not in a deliberate attempt to rip off the publisher or author!
I got mine in Waterstones in Sauchiehall St, on the ground floor - the corner on your left as you face the lift and stairs. It's a fairly hefty 14.99 though!
August 1984 in Union St, and a pair of Leyland Atlanteans display a transitional period for liveries.
August 1983, and a Volvo-Ailsa takes a drink in St Enoch Square.
August 1983 again, and this MCW Metrobus shows the Maxi behind it who's boss in Renfield St...
August 1983 yet again, and a Leyland National in George Square.
A little out of town now for a glimpse of a spanky new 1984 Dennis Dorchester in East Kilbride, courtesy of Central SMT. And they still prowl the streets of Glasgow to this day!
Sticking with East Kilbride and Central SMT, a pair of shiny Dennis Dominators adorn the town centre in 1981.
Back to the fetching yellow and green again, and a Leyland Olympian in Clarkston Rd in 1983.
1986 now, and Charing Cross is the scene of this race between a Volvo-Ailsa and a British Gas Maestro van. Not sure who my money would be on...
1983, and a less-than-glamourous Bunhanan St bus station, with a Volvo B58 doing the Glasgow-Edinburgh run.
Post 1987 now, with the merger of Kelvin and Central SMT, and old London Routemasters take to the streets of Glasgow with the new livery.
The only Western SMT pic I scanned, although there are loads in the book. A Leyland Fleetline in Argyle St in 1984.
Lastly, not really Glasgow at all, but the spelling mistake in the destination board gets my vote for most appropriate ever - almost as if the person who did it knew the place! Shotts terminus, undated.
Hope that keeps ya happy Putty!
