Double Decker Imports is pleased to present this 1978 Bristol VR, a fully open-top double decker bus, available for immediate export to the United States. This vehicle represents a unique investment opportunity for tour operators, event companies, or private collectors.
A standout in our inventory, this Bristol VR was in continuous commercial operation as a ‘for hire’ vehicle until October 2025. This recent service history is a direct testament to its exceptional mechanical condition and meticulous maintenance schedule, ensuring it is a turn-key asset, not a restoration project.
Its open-top configuration makes it an ideal choice for sightseeing tours, promotional events, or as a distinctive mobile venue. The vehicle is in spectacular shape for its age, showcasing the timeless design and durable construction Bristol is known for. It offers a reliable and iconic platform ready for immediate commercial use or personal conversion. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, operational piece of British heritage primed for its next venture in the American market.
