When you do see a decent old British double-decker on Ebaymotors, or some such place, they seem to want an arm and a leg plus your firstborn for one. And most of them are slow moving, and often over the magical 14 foot 'legal' max height allowed on most US highways. So if you find a good one that runs and will make a road trip to get it home, you have to drive it about 45 miles per hour for a rather looooooong road trip
Still, they sure would make a sweet bus home conversion!

Hi Lois, I remember driving to the Pointe Restaurant at the Wickininnish Inn for lunch (beautiful view and beach-only ones in the Dining Room that day..but 200 miles for lunch..ha!) from Victoria and saw that yard.. I was amazed.. Tofino was cool too..and the trip thru the Pacific Rim National Preserve was beautiful..!

There was a couple from France, I think, that did a documentary on their life and travels in a double decker bus doing a circus act all over the world except the US, it was pretty good and allot of beatiful places as well. some of you might enjoy, it was called stanley sprockets 101 ways to do a world tour. 46 minutes long but I thought it was pretty good myself. Hope yaw enjoy it, I would love to travel that way, would be willing to be a ticket taker or even dress up as a clown in their act to cover travel expences.
