Always leave room for dessert 🍨

Some from last year, some from this year and prepping for some 2025 special “reveals” but now that word has been overused and doesn’t feel as fun anymore it’s time for a new way of doing things.

So no more reveals as you knew them on this page but here’s to many more private moments ☕️🚌✨

One of our obsessions. Headlights. If you know Ash, you know it’s a real thing.💡

💙❤️🤍 CHAPTER 1 🤍❤️💙

Graham has very kindly given us permission to share the restoration progress of CKH 777C but we aren’t going to share typical restoration posts. You all know this page is more about the lifestyle of the hobby and photos and videos of our favourite vehicles out and about.

We want to really share in depth as much as we can the story of East Yorkshire Motor Services, Park Royal, AEC Renowns and in particular, of course, 777. We would love for those of you in the know to share your story’s and memories in the comments too in the hope that we will all learn more together about EYMS, Park Royal, AEC Renown’s and 777 🖤

Here’s an exclusive sneak peek of all the Sevens under full restoration so far to peak your interest and get this story started ✍️

A DECADE 🖤

We missed celebrating a decade of being in business together in 2024. Being married and being business partners is a whole experience!

Cheers to those who run a business with their husband or wife 🥂and thank you to everyone who has been a supportive part of our journey so far.

A few from our travels and a visit to one of our favourite upholsterers had me swooning over his wall art 😍 Also see the last photo 🖤✨

Apparently we only post once a month now. Hope you are having a productive January.

One of the most beautiful things about the classic bus community is the amount of collections that are looked after by volunteers. People who have so much passion for the vehicles and organisations that mean something to them, so much so they give up their valuable time to be a part of it, work and help. Isn’t that beautiful?

Where do you volunteer?

This morning David tagged us in a post and it has prompted us to say thank you to you. Thank you David 😎

To everyone who follows our page that isn’t specifically into buses at all, thank you, we adore you for being here. You are the real reason we started our page years ago 🖤

To the tiny percentage of you who are from the “bus world” of the 39k, thank you for sharing your passion for the vehicles on this page and supporting us out there in the world too. We see and take note of every single one of you who has continued to support our work and mission 💫

Much love, Team Revivist ###

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." – C.S. Lewis Good morning, it’s a new day, set a new inspiring goal and get after it ❤️

Seeing into the future 🎨🪄❤️ a fun edit.

Summer fun. Riding on board Oxford Bus Museum’s AEC Regent III, PWL 413 fixated on John’s T792, AEC Regal III 😍 Its a glorious AEC chorus mixed with the breeze from the platform of PWL 👌

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." – Albert Schweitzer John and Thelma’s magnificent DD7 on the move last weekend. The Marshalls family business is one of the most inspiring success stories in the industry and long may this continue 😍✨

The best afternoon with John, Thelma and the Marshall family (and Kenneth!) ✨

THE REVIVIST: Classic Vehicle Restoration & Fine Coach Painting

Founded by Ashley and Kirstin, The Revivist is a classic vehicle restoration and fine coach painting business based in Yorkshire.

The business specialises in the restoration and traditional coach painting of classic buses and coaches in the main, championing traditional craftsmanship. Assistance can also be given with mechanics & servicing, electrical work, fitting varnish transfers and partial restoration and repair work.

The business is based in Yorkshire but Ashley will travel nationwide working on site at museums and locations with private collections.

With showstopper standards, attention to detail, extensive knowledge, useful contacts, a passion for authenticity preserving heritage vehicles as they should be, a love of fresh chrome and dressed tyres and not forgetting that shiny coach paint finish, you wouldn't want your classic driving on anything other than a red carpet after The Revivist restoration treatment. OK well maybe a red carpet isn’t practical but that is the aim.
