Dont want to sell, but running out of room and need to trim the collection!!

Will get up to date pics asap but here is the link to the importer that I purchased it from

As you can see its original paint.

Since purchasing:

All structual/mot welding has been completed by Paul Coleman at Coltech Classics. Done to an extremely high standard (almost invisible)

The chassis/inner arches/underneath has all been stripped back, stonechipped and painted neptune blue using 2pack paint.

Also fitted was Creative engineering adjustable springplates and Creative beam adjusters.

All brake shoes/cylinders/flexis/solid pipes/master cylinder renenwed with Heritage parts. New handbrake cables also. Brakes all work but will need final adjustments for MOT.

Later Gearbox fitted supported by a bare engine case and mostache support bar with all new rubber mounts.

Flat 4 chrome sprintstars and brand new tyres fitted and balanced.

Empi trigger shifter with all new shift rod couplings and bushs.

I was building this bus to be like new mechanically/underneath but with original patina on top.

In terms of whats left to do, it needs an engine, wiring gone through (although looks unmolested) new window rubbers and an interior to suit your needs then mot and registering.

I have all the paperwork from the importation of the bus.

The bus also comes with front and rear bumpers, the rare bumper irons (front and rear) all deluxe trim with renewed clips fitted where necessary and a 1600 twinport shortblock that I was going to have rebuilt.

We have invested £6.5K on this bus including purchase....

I want £5000 to secure a new owner.

As i say, up to date pics when I can
