East Kent Buses Vehicles For Sale

[JFO]

This week 2 East Kent Buses vehicles that are for sale have been brought to my attention, and thought they were worth a mention as there are Preservationists on here.

Preserved East Kent Coaches Plaxton Panorama 1470 WJG470J is currently advertised in the "BusMart" pages of the latest issue of Bus & Coach Preservation Magazine, at £11,000, and is dry stored in East Kent acording to the advert.

For those wishing to travel a bit further to save a vehicle, I've been tipped off through Flickr that ex East Kent Buses Bristol VR 7650 XJJ650V, which at some point since 2001 or 2002 had migrated to the USA, popped up on Facebook MarketPlace about 7 months ago: www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/965551538357316/.
In 2025 it appears to be currently located in Aurora, Indiana, having previously been stored in a contractors yard near Cincinnati, Ohio during 2022, when these two shots of it were taken: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132070638@N02/52151868578/, and: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132070638@N02/52150851997/.
XJJ650V seems to be missing some window glass and I don't know if its mobile, but it doesn't look as bad as some abandoned VR's I've found.
