VLT 102
New in 1959 to London Transport, fleet number RM102, this AEC Routemaster with Park Royal H36/28R body, had hopped from one capital to another, being photographed in Paris, France in the ownership of Bateaux Mouches, a river boat sightseeing company, based at Port de la Conférence, Pont de l’Alma. It was converted to open top after export.

As can be seen in this photograph, taken on 14th July 2003, it still carries its' UK registration, so it most probably is used as a publicity asset.

Incidentally, Oxford Diecast made a model based on this bus.
