Advert Bus Puts a Routemaster Up for Auction
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
A live auction for vinyl advertising spots on a 1960s London Routemaster bus, including panels, headrests, window strips, and even an audio sponsor credit.
Field notes
The inventory is unusually granular: buyers can bid on exterior panels, a recurring spoken route announcement, stairwell space, driver’s cab door, paired seat headrests, and ceiling grab rails. The page describes four 75-minute loops per day and a seven-day run funded by a £5,000 target, with extra days tied to additional funding. Promotional bus images are marked as AI-rendered, while a separate link points to real bus photographs.
