RTC 1, the experimental RT Green Line coach. Started off as standard RT 97 but suffered bomb damage in the war. 

Now that looks like a write off to you and me doesn't it? I mean you can see the framework is bent inwards on both decks. But not for the boys at Chiswick, they obviously just saw it as a challenge. 

It was actually rebuilt as a standard RT first with an experimental rear door before going full RTC 1.

Goes to show how old buses were infinitely repairable.

These & the Routemasters were designed to be easily stripped down & rebuilt.  My Dad had a DVD showing how buses were handled at Aldernham, which was like a production line but the taken apart before being put back together.
