given that it worked the 26 for a time theres a fair chance I have ridden on that bus,

(along with any other Trident that worked the 48 and 55 also, I remember excitingly once catching TA1 S801BWC working the 55 :) you could always spot that one as it uniquely still had proper metal framed seats) 

I have many fond memories of East London Tridents, would love to own one, and tbh now is probably the best time to buy one, are they have all hit the end of their service life and are fucked being flogged off cheap, as you so demonstrate, or just scrapped, 

sadly I dont think I am in any position to be owning a double decker bus! and that makes me grumpy (because I imagine by the time I am in such a position, assuming if I ever do make it to such a position! they will all long be gone) 

I do know of a few that have made it into preservation tho which makes me happy :)

Pop up lights ftw!

Before the days of enormous 4x4 these were bought as a sports cars for the wife by the gentlemen of Surrey so she can crash in safety.

Issues:
Exhaust (middle section, pictured) 
   Kept it in the garage and comes with the car. Header and silencer still on car
Dipstick
   Top plastic for the dipstick broken off, may want to replace.
Left hand mirror cracked
   Can still see out of it and passed its last MOT with it. 
Driver's seat pan (pictured)
   Hole in fabric in the seat pan.

Put back or replace exhaust, buy used dipstick & mirror, ignore hole in seat? None of this issues seem difficult or expensive to sort.

Jack it up, attach a jump lead to the alternator or starter B+ :)

Or just bloody well bump start it.

A more suspicious person might think they cut the bonnet release cable to hide that fact that the cylinder head is missing or some nonsense.
