Jim Blake's Sold! London Transport Buses' Second Coming

This new book features something different from Jim Blake's extensive photographic archives. It shows an array of former London Transport and London Country buses, coaches and trolleybuses after their withdrawal from service and sale to other owners. Featuring photographs taken from the early 1960s until the present century, it enumerates such vehicles on a class-by-class basis, covering virtually everything from buses purchased for the transport of school children or factory workers, to those which saw further passenger service with new owners - notably the Q1 class trolleybuses exported to Spain. Detailed historic notes are given for the vehicles illustrated, and many unusual views are included - the vast majority of which have never been published before. More than half of the 296 photographs included are in colour.
