The seller offers for sale this Bristol Lodekka FLF6G Double Decker Bus from 1964, equipped with a 10.5-liter 6-cylinder diesel engine and manual transmission. This distinctive bus features the more powerful 6LXB engine, allowing for speeds up to approximately 80 km/h, making it suitable for modern traffic and highway use. Around two years ago, the clutch plate, release bearing, and top bearing were renewed, and a reconditioned gearbox was installed, along with a new 24V alternator. The bodywork shows signs of use, with some areas requiring attention, including the left front fender. The interior is in good condition with characteristic leather seating areas on both levels, original English details, and a roof hatch. The vehicle has had damage to the left front fender, with no structural damage to the chassis.
The Bristol Lodekka is an iconic British double-decker bus, known for its innovative low-height design which allowed it to operate on routes with low bridges. Introduced in the mid-20th century, the model became widely used across the United Kingdom and gained a reputation for durability and practicality. Today, surviving examples are appreciated for their distinctive appearance and versatility, often converted for promotional use, hospitality purposes, or private projects. Its characteristic shape and historical significance make it a standout vehicle with strong appeal for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
