Sorry, can't help, but one has just been sold on ebay for just over £100.00. I suspect that a few more will surface if that's the going rate.

If you look on the ROOF website linked above, take the link to the work done on RM 1872 South Devon Railway. They have made replica grille badge holders but they are not cheap. As Rob says they are like gold dust although there must be hundreds in sheds and in drawers all over the UK as they were regularly taken off the buses as that piece was not bolted to the grille. The same applies to the indicators, particularly the front ears lens and fixing brackets, be prepared to pay £150 plus for a decent pair. You could try Lionel Moss as he certainly had some but may now have sold them. For the rear the lens are not that hard to find they do come up on Ebay from time to time, but the body is, however, its the same size as some of the reversing light on a lot of rear engined buses of the period so worth looking out for those if you visit scrap yards.

Robert - I do by chance happen to have a grille trip for the badge surround. It's in fair condition with a few scratches but if you're interested, please email, I'll send you a photo and we can take it from there.

Do you mean RM 1799? According to all the records it was bought by Ross and Steve Newman sometime back and is in the Ensign Bus Museum.

Has it been sold? Isn't this the one that has been re-engined but has not had a body refurb judging by pictures of it?

Co-incidentally, I viewed RM1799 in early 1998 at holloway garage where Metroline had it up for sale. It then had an original AEC engine. Whilst I was very tempted, 1699 came on the market and was a better bet since the asking price was slightly less and it was in better condition.

1799 soon after returned to service and it's AEC was relpaced by a Cummins B a couple of year's later. It was amongst the last RM's to work the 390 from HT and was sold to Ensigns in 2004.
