ROUTEMASTER RML2408 Restoration

To achieve the desired finish it was necessary to renew virtually all of the external paneling, this required approximately twelve 8'x4" aluminium sheets and close to four thousand rivets.
More often than not the RM/RML's aluminium framework will have survived remarkably well and this one is no exception, only the effects of repeated accident damage required the need for a few new parts on the lower rear structure. Original rear light fittings and front indicators have been reinstated along with the correct style RML radiator grille.

Internally, almost all traces of the "modernised" layout were removed in favour of the traditional Routemaster colours and fittings. A durable carpet material of appropriate colour was used to re-cover the side panels as an alternative to the original rexine.
