I see RM963, the ex-Janet Foley of Washington State fully restored RM that was going to be re-imported back to the UK a couple of years ago by Steve Bunda, is for sale again on Ebay (USA) today.

Now stripped out for a cafe conversion (though the seller says he still has the seat frames and seating) it now sports an 'eco-frindly' bamboo floor. Another quality vehicle lost.

He ambitiously is looking for $125, 000 for the bus, which on today's exchange rate is £75, 500!!

I am the X owner, restorer of RM963. Wondering if anyone knows her where abouts. She was in beautiful condition when she left me. I am so sad to hear that the restoration I had completed was "destroyed" with bamboo floors and all.

I love the bus, named her Essie. Sad to see her go. I met many wonderful people from the UK that helped in her restoration. Several spotters who came to my door.

A special Thank You to Paul Watson who helped me get it right an Bob Martin who encouraged me all along the way.

Thank you.

My bus number (if any): RM963

When it was for sale in the ebay auction above it was somewhere in the Southern New York or Northern New Jersey area. I'll see if I can find out some more up to date info
