Just to keep this thread 'stoked' and to make you all drool, here are some pics of a lovely mint early Danbury I came across last weekend.
It is based on a kombi, and has its full original interior. 8)


lovely bus - what colour is that?

I'm not sure, but looking at the colour charts, assuming that is the original colour, it could be Cream White.

I reckon your mate's van, Jason, has possibly remained local all its life if it has the 'RV' in the registration, as that is from the Portsmouth area. My parents' Danbury, which they bought new in Southsea was 'VRV' on a 'K 'plate.
