Centra destination blinds for sale on eBay already...

As some of you will be aware, London bus operator Centra had their last day of operations last night, with remaining services 200, 201, 493 off to London General, East Thames Buses, and Armchair, as of today. The company's performance was blamed in the end, but the problems had gone back to before when the company had bought most of Mitcham Belle's bus work. Centra also operated outwith London, but that's now even distant memories. In the meantime, with less than 24 hours since the end of operations, the blinds are already up for grabs on eBay...
This auction is for a set of Caetano Dennis Dart blinds manufactured by McKenna for Centra London for use its routes from Beddington Farm (BC). This company ceased trading on 19/05/06, this will give you a chance to own a piece of London's failed bus industry.
These McKenna Glo blinds are made from tyvek and are printed in dayglo yellow out of black.
(Except the South West Trains/London Underground/ & Driver Under Instruction, these are black on white)
All blinds are in an 'as used' condition which means that they may benefit from a washing with soapy washing liquid water ONLY.
This lot includes the following blinds:-
2 X MM Front & rear numbers
1 X NN Front ultimate
1 X CC Side numbers & vias

Strange thing is, I'm perversely tempted. Yes, and I'm also stoney broke, and tommorrow's the first SVBM Lathalmond event of the year!
