    Our two dailies, about as opposite as you can get, lol. An Electric Hyundai Kona, and a 3.7 V6 Petrol Mercedes V350. The Merc sounds great and for a big old bus is pretty quick. 18-20mpg hurts a bit tho.

    Its the little things sometimes

    It's the little things that please us sometimes. For nearly 3 years I've been trying to find the clamp that holds the factory jack in place under the passenger seat on an Early Bay. Finally got one and fitted it. Seems really hard to find these clamps, especially in good condition, as I guess...

    Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone £10/day from June 2023

    If a historic vehicle isn't showing as exempt it's an error on the system or its not registered correctly. And ALL historic vehicles are exempt, even commercials. I used to have a classic 1978 mk2 Transit and that was registered historic and was ULEZ and CAZ exempt. And I know all the classic...

    Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone £10/day from June 2023

    Any historic registered (aka tax and MOT exempt) vehicle is exempt from ALL ULEZ's in the country. So for now (until that's changed) there is nothing to worry about.

    Do your Kids love busses?

    My 6 and 10 yewr old love our 68 Westfalia. I've fitted two 3 point belts in the back for them. Ours has been converted to the later continental roof bed so my 10yr old sleeps up there and my 6yr old sleeps in the Cab Bunk.

    Buddy 1970 Early Bay

    Bus looks great from the picture. But it isn't a Westfalia. Wrong roof, and unless it's a SA import they never came in RHD. That looks more like a Devon conversion by the roof and the fact it's RHD. The M Plate will tell you if it's a factory Westfalia, it should have at least one of these M...

    Electric fridge to replace the original cool box?

    How have you Vented it so it doesn't overheat? Also would using an integrated appliance door slider kit work so both doors can be opened together?
