Nice looking bus you have there 8)

 

[Tintop]

Love the van.

 

[Wannabay]

looking at the pics, I've just noticed that the 2 front seats have a different 'weave'
drivers seat has horizontal indents
passenger seat has vertical indents
so which one is original?
any ideas?

 

[willi76]

i'd say the drivers seat looks more O/G

 

[Wannabay]

think I agree having done some spring cleaning today
drivers seat colour matches door cards = cream
whereas passenger seat is more beige
another item to add to the 'shopping' list

I was in Mayflower in Brixton recently and saw a bus looking a bit like this - any relation????

 

[Danbury Doug]

Lovely bus!

There are not many Danburys now that still have the original seat cushion material and original vinyl floor like yours! Lovely lovely lovely! 8)

 

[Wannabay]

olance - not mine but I have seen an early devon with similar 2 tone colours around

danbury dan - thought the cushion material was original but didn't expect the vinyl to be! The interior is so quirky and heath robinson - can't wait to try out camping in it

Yep, everything is original that I can see, the curtains too! I expect yours still has the original bit of carpet on the engine deck, a sort of mottled grey/black colour.

Part of the fun will be arranging the boards and cushions to form the bed! :lol:

[Camperdan]

Great colour scheme.... and the BRM's set it off perfect!

took her down to IoW at w/e, parked up at Osbourne House - Queen Victoria's summer residence - came back to find 3 Lotus 7s 'courting' her - particularly like the one on the right with the brolly!
