Buses scrapped, or sold for scrap - Open Top Bus

1 Buses scrapped , or sold for scrapThis is our list of Buses that have been scrapped , sold for scrap , or are thought to no longer exist. These Buses can be considered to fall into two scrappedIn most cases, these Buses will have been sold to a vehicle dismantler or scrap dealer, where they would be stripped of any useful parts and the remains cut up, so that the vehicle no longer exists. In some cases the dismantling or cutting up has been done by the bus owner and the remains sold to a scrap sold for scrapWhen Buses are sold for scrap , it is probably the intention of the seller that the vehicle should be dismantled.

2 Many of our records are conclusive, in that we record that the Buses no longer exist. However, other Buses are shown as scrapped , but it is possible that while we believe they were sold for dismantling, the physical destruction process may not yet have happened, and the Buses may still exist on the dealer s premises in either complete form or in a delapitated condition. We will update the records on this list in due course to identify any Buses that we thought had been destroyed that perhaps do still exist in sold for scrap Buses are grouped into Chassis Make lists, in registration/licence plate order.
