OK so I'm having a of a rethink on what buses I keep at the moment so I'm 'thinking' of selling Patrick to fund a new 'shop bus'. Patrick is an ex Swedish 1969 Panel Van that was supplied from the factory in Primer to the Swedish Electricity Board or similar and was painted bright yellow. Previous owner bought it from Keift & Klok in 2007 and I bought it a year ago just after he had resprayed it (on his drive) in Neptune Blue and to be honest its not a great paint job. We've added signwriting but this was rattle can sprayed on through a mask and will flat off easily and can be blown in with a Neptune Blue rattle can.
Even though the bus is a 69 its fitted with small five wheel set up with discs up front and a servo and boy does it stop, Gadget nearly hit the screen the first time he drove it :lol: :lol: . Rear is fitted with a bench seat and some of Dave Frosts Z bed hinges.
Mot is about to run out but it will be supplied with a new MOT.
It currently has a 1776 with twin 40's but this will be removed as its leaking oil and will be replaced with a 1600cc twinport before the sale or the bus can be supplied without an engine, your choice.
