SPARES AND MISCELLANEA FOR THE PRESERVED LONDON BUS

Destination Blinds

The destination blinds listed below are for sale. All are original London Transport blinds.

Unless otherwise described, they are in good used condition, considering their age. Most are fresh and bright, but some have minor edge damage from use with LT but in most cases this is not severe enough to affect use. Any other defects will be mentioned.

I find it difficult to describe such a large number of blinds objectively but have done my best. I would encourage viewing before purchase or at least allow me to give more detailed information about specific blinds.

I am prepared to undertake repairs to blinds marked as in need of repair if required.

Prices on Ebay for destination blinds have reached ridiculous levels, putting blinds out of reach of those that need them most - the preserved bus owner. The prices here are, hopefully, more realistic. For this reason, those interested in purchasing any of those listed will be required to demonstrate their need/intended use for the blinds.

For viewing and purchase arrangements, please see the main page.

A large proportion are now sold, but I do have a few to add after Christmas.
