Hey all,
Here is an idea of what Russel's trailer could be for the EBI.
Just a nice top chop. The Airstream is a must be at the rear

Ah, the good old Smoke City Wheelers' club Bus! Roof-chopped (twice) genuine London Bus. That was/is so cool!

I heard that the Routemaster club bought it and unchopped it! Twice!

Why not build a special "keith" engine and gearbox ?
Flip the ring and pinion and use a reverse rotation camshaft, so you will have four reverse gears and one forward.
That way burnouts in reverse will be the "norm".

I thought only the top had been roof chopped. You can see from the drivers window that it hasn't been chopped at the front in the middle, they put in-fill panels in along the middle windows to make it look like it was chopped

My old neighbours (Pete and Angie Thompson) used to run this club, they still have the bus stashed on a farm on Hertfordshire. He took me for a spin in his 10 sec Capri a few weeks before it caught fire on the A10.

You are right, but it was still a very cool illusion.

It might be at The Enfield Motoring Pageant, Last weekend of May, especially as this year is "Route 66 the American Dream".
