Oh sounds nice :D
I decoded the m plate and it was a kombi originally so i guess it had windows. Would have just been nice to put the roof on it which it would have had originally. Either way a good idea will be for me to look at a few this summer whilst using mine and get a feel for a few...
I bought the bus...ended up getting it as a non runner for £5500.00
Bought it home and the push rod in the lift pump had broken away the plastic seat in the cheap aftermarket one , replaced this and she fired right up!
Just a question...its got a full length rag top... but how would you know...
Yeah the lady who owns it is my best friends mum. No it doesnt sound pessimistic, ive restored cars before and have good friends in the trade so I know what could be involved, I appreciate the help. I pretty much came on to gain knowledge about these buses because its good to know the common...
How would I find out which roof it had originally? Is it just a case of looking at the original fixing points? Or can you find out from the M plate etc?
Thanks
So I had a good look over the bus yesterday.
The sills which you can see are solid, no rust at all. Every door underneath is completely solid with no rust, windscreen solid.
The guttering has no rust at all.. The cab footwell has been repaired already with plates welded in nicely and no rust...
So I decoded the plate and here are the original details..

I can bring this bus home and have a real good look over it without handing over any cash and return it if I dont want it. The lady selling it is as good as family. I think this will be the best idea.
Cool ill take a look at the M plate.
