I think there's a Routemaster or two in the background. |

Yes, I can't tell what buses they are exactly, but they are indeed British. It is filmed in private automotive museum near Warsaw - these vehicles waited for the renovation. Here are all of their London's double-deckers: http://www.muzeum-motoryzacji.com.pl/podstrony/details.php?id=320 http://www.muzeum-motoryzacji.com.pl/podstrony/details.php?id=327 http://www.muzeum-motoryzacji.com.pl/podstrony/details.php?id=287 http://www.muzeum-motoryzacji.com.pl/podstrony/details.php?id=106 Edit: the truck is 1955-59 due to the rounded roof line (metal cab). -- Last edit: 2013-06-29 12:39:46 |

The first and third links are all London Routemasters of one kind or another, although they've been through other hands since. The second is a Bristol K-something, I think from the 40s or 50s, and in spite of the caption I don't think it was ever ‘londyński’. The fourth is a Bristol VR, and I'm fairly certain they were never used by London Transport either ... SteveA? ![]() |

I'm curious by who the site of this museum has been made - there is a lot of smaller and bigger mistakes. ![]() |

Historic British buses abroad are often described as London buses. I suppose that the owners either get it wrong or think that calling them London buses makes them seem more interesting. -- Last edit: 2008-01-28 19:31:39 |

BTW, Michał, those plates – are they special ones for historic vehicles, like the German H plates? And are they transferable, as the open-top RM and the Bristol VR seem to be carrying the same number? @Gag Halfrunt: Yes, that's true; the Americans are amongst the worst offenders. I've seen pictures of all sorts of double-deckers described as London buses that never saw London in their lives - ex-Crosville and Western/Southern National Bristols, for example. |

Yes, these are historic plates 2000+ /vehicle_145192-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud-II-1960.html http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Ploldtimerseries2000.JPG I think they have two different plates - Bristol = 3A and RM = 2A (but I can be wrong). Unofrtunately I can't answer you are they transferable - I guess no, they aren't. -- Last edit: 2008-01-29 17:49:32 |
