It's not for me, it's for a friend - but they're interested in buying
(or leasing for a reasonably long time) a Routemaster for publicity
purposes. They're based in London, but don't know where to start.

Also, any hints about the legal and practical side of operating one
(not as a public transport) would be helpful. Some idea of overall
costs -- it's all finger in the air stuff at the moment -- would
similarly be useful.

Can't say more than that at the moment, but if the project goes ahead
I'd be surprised if it didn't get a lot of attention.

Thanks in advance,
