[QUOTE="70 BUS, post: 25141, member: 533"] Once again, great looking bus. I'm now pretty sure its "VW" Safari Beige. (see this for a paint chip [url]http://www.type3registry.com/reg_paint.php[/url]). I say "vw" because there seem to be lots of different safari beiges out there. If you look at this ([url]http://www.clubvw.org.au/colour_identification.htm[/url]) you can see that safari beige was the colour used for 1970 Aussie buses. My old 70 bus was Ascot Green and my current one was honey brown with antarctic white on top. It's just about to undergo a bare metal respray and its new colour is going to be (you guessed it) safari beige. Such a great colour. I'd never seen a safari beige bus before (only type 3's and even then the colour changed a fair bit) and seeing yours made up my mind. thanks. Dave. PS I don't know what your situation is so it's hard to pass comment, BUT you'd be mad to sell a bus like that in such pristine condition. :) [/QUOTE]
