Welcome to our channel, a collection of slideshow videos to illustrate the restoration process of ex London Transport buses & coaches. The pictures were originally taken so a record could be shown as a guarantee that all work had been completed to the correct specification and highest possible standard.

The purpose of these videos is to make available to anyone interested an insight into our experiences of bus & coach restoration. It may also be useful as a source of reference for the owners of the featured vehicles and also for those currently restoring vehicles of these types. 

For restorations before 2004 a simple 35mm compact camera was used which produced a very large amount of negatives. Poor storage conditions damaged the negatives and it was obvious they had to be transferred to a digital format if the images were to survive. An attempt was made to restore the images with computer software but some discoloration and staining still remains.
