Approximately 50 year old London Routemaster (closed-platform type, reg: VLT 259) with engine idling on quiet suburban road in SE London.

Occasion passing cars in background. To my ear, this diesel engine sounds very well tuned. This has been trimmed to loop. Close your eyes and breathe in those imaginary particulates!
