Seat Cushions and Backs for a Dennis Dart

Good Afternoon everyone,

I know this thread is totally off topic and even model, but i wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction.

I have recently bought a 1996 Dennis Dart 9.0 metre with a Plaxton body. I have just stripped all the seats out so that the vehicle is ready for conversion, and i have a full set of seat cushions and backs that are in Arriva trim and extremely good condition. I also have a full set of windows and frames (excluding doors as screen) that are again complete.

I really feel that these items are too good to chuck away and wondered if anyone would be interested in buying them. Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Chris

Hi Chris - how about putting a free ad in the back of Bus and Coach Preservation magazine as this seems to cater for more modern buses as well as older models ?

Re: Seat Cushions and Backs for a Dennis Dart

Watch out on eBay. I bid 99p for a full set of Metrobus cushions and no one else bid against me. Great for me but not good for the seller. Even if you want to do someone a favour watch your first bid price.

My bus number (if any): RML2276, M1001, T806

Thanks for your input everyone, ideally it would be good if i could find a local preservation society but i am struggling to find one.

if anyone knows of one, i would appreciate the heads up.

Thanks and regards
