thats it, now the nitty gritty, History.. I only know it has been stored in a barn in Hamberg for at least the last 20 years, and is solid and the only thing I need to do is to sort out the wipers,(wrong unit fitted) some one has bent the spindle arms out to get them through the holes. seems to be about an inch short when straight. THEN I need to insure it.. Any help hear would be welcome Thanks for the help so far H>H

Are you really going to keep these awful airbrush paintings? Sorry but I really believe this completely spoils the van!

I am going to throw in the spanner then. I absolutely love the front! I would have bought it too! Its super cool!

But then possibly my all time favorite bus is the BBT hippy bus. Followed sharply by Geoff Sumpters amazing 58 Devon :D [img]https://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-3/1155935/fatamorgana-06.jpg[/img]

the camera doesn't do the artwork justice.. Signed 1973, with a leather red and black padded interior I think I had a good buy at £2800, I would like your coments ?

That is a good buy, that looks like a really solid bus. I'd leave the artwork and interior if you like them. I hate to see stuff like that wiped away before it has a chance to come back into style again.

If you get rid of the artwork it will just be another very nice bus. Its a unique feature. I used to use Footman James myself, but now I think we are on some old agricultural policy :shock: Are you taking it to Stonor Park? Would love to see it in detail?
