For Sale;
My 1968 deluxe Californian import, LHD bus. UK Registered.

Sits on powder coated steel rims. Tyres have covered about 200 miles from new.

Brand new ¾ Rock n roll bed frame and boards. Cost £275 (no foam)

Tinted front screen. (Fairly rare I’m told)

Scat shifter

New brake master cylinder and steering damper

Jail bars

all deluxe trim is present but 2 pieces are not mounted. But are included in the sale

I bought this bus from kieft en klok in 2006. This bus is super dry and has been garaged pretty much since it landed on UK shores.

I took the bus to the 2006 vanfest, it drove lovely all the way. On the way home the engine spat all of its oil onto the M5 and cooked itself. (Towed home!) Once home I built a brand new 1776 engine for it and installed it. But between now and then I removed the 1776 engine and put in a 1600 t/p. The bus is still registered as a 1776 on the log book.

All quarter lights open and function well

This bus is dry as a bone, the underside is rock solid.

Tax exempt, no MOT.

SOLD

New years price drop £8500, open to offers.

ideal bus to customise and make entirely your own in 2013.

happy new year all dubbers
 
When was the bus last on the road in the UK?

What is it likely to need for the MoT?
 
the bus was last on uk roads in 2006. and garaged since.

The last Mot it needed nothing at all. Although a verbal advisory was given to me regarding the rear lenses as the indicators flash red (us spec) and should really flash yellow (uk spec).

I dont imagine it would need anything to pass Mot.
