Sadly I am selling my split panel, and it's only just finished. I need a more family friendly camper. Here is the info:

1960 Panel, LHD, Californian Import, bought from Graham at FBI, Swansea.
UK Registered
12 Months MOT + Tax


This van has been totally rebuilt, it was a shell with solid floors, gutters etc. It had just been messed with in the 70's. I have put it back to how I think it should be.....it is not stock but I have kept the commercial look.

You did great job dude, but it looks friendly to me you should keep it :D
Good luck with the sale :)
 
/drool

i love this van, whay is everyone selling their vans now, is it the weather??
 
Cheers Guys

The paint and doors are now sorted! :D I'm really happy with it. Please don't expect it to be a £20k+ show winner, the resto shows what has been done. But it is always best to come and have a look.

I will post some pics of the rear after the weekend.

I will be at BVF (as long as the weather is good) if you want to have a nose.

See you there!

Would you be interested in a 72 cross over Cali import with Recon 1.8 Type 4

I am really after a 71 or below. But if you send me some pics of your bus I may be persuaded. :)
 
I have changed the link to my thread, the other one didn't seem to work.

USABayDaz - lovely bus but I'm looking for a very specific one .....I think. :D
 
No worries

To be honest not sure her in doors would have allowed a swap any how

Beautiful bus though mate

Especially like the colour
 
I now have an early bay (1969 Westy). :)

But I still need to sell my split in order to do the work on it I want... :cry:

Shame I can't keep them both.

Offers Please!

Hi, yes they were JGE Raders, but they were detailed aswell.

Seeing the pictures I miss it already, but my 69 bay is going to be cool and family friendly.
