This is the reply from the seller: "I am in France till Thursday on holiday. I am more then happy to add you to the list to see it / buy it but unfortunately I have had over 100 messages before you. The list is rather long. Sorry" So it sounds as if it might be genuine and someone could be getting a bargain. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! yeah im not surprised by that response, if its genuine no wonder their inbox exploded at that sort of price! hopefully it finds a good home with someone! rather then turned into a glamping pod! I am just wondering how it managed to fly under the radar so to speak, end up getting listed for so cheap in that listing a Routemaster for a Grand, is like someone listing a 1960's Mk1 Mini for £50, just because thats what they bought it for back in 1985, and somehow completely missed what they go for these days you pull any joe public off the street and they know that a Routemaster/Mk1 Mini is worth way more then £1000/£50 so its rather curious from that front as well hence my initial comment of "that can be right!" although I wonder if they even know its a Routemaster? its not actually listed as such, so maybe just sheer blissful ignorance? bizarre but not impossible (but again its like someone having a Mini and not knowing its a mIni and just listing it as a "an old British Motor corporation car of some kind") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughant Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 11 hours ago, grogee said: Yeah that would be fun. Although I think one of the things that makes them fun is the lightweight petrol engine, so having this boat anchor in the front might spoil it a bit. Still, I like the sound of a diesel sleeper. But it's probably a bit crispy. They drive just the same with the diesel in them, still exceptional handling and grip in a fiesta style way. I had one years ago and the td is great, let's it pick up really well, great torque and really fills in the gaps the old flat derv couldn't. Good on fuel too.

But more fool them if they don't because a quick Google (and I mean quick, in under a minute) found this. Surely if you're selling something you would do this? Would love to know how this pans out but I doubt we'll ever find out. LightBulbFun and BeEP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if I told this before on this forum (I don't think I did), but up until the early 2000s there was a guy in this town who ran a business in importing, selling and maintaining British buses, preferably double deckers. He bought a derelict petrol station to store them all, but not all double deckers could fit under the roof of said petrol station. His solution was to let the air out of the tyres so they could just squeeze underneath it😁 Dick Longbridge, colino, garethj and 10 others 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a contractor I wasn't eligible but LOADS of people bought them, mainly in Aspen Green I think. Possibly the facelift bug-eye lights one, I can't remember. Yes the seat cloth is a bit 50 Shades of Grey but overall I think they've aged well. I bet it's alright, this Love a Mk1 and they make a cracking daily motor. But the enthusiasts want STs so can’t imagine they’ll get £2K for it. £500 maybe and only because of the current inflated market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
