here are the original vw spark plugs that were in the glove box, the 2nd set are in the bus now!

Stig, the man who bought this bus new in 1968 made and fitted this perspex screen which protected the front of his bus from stonechips, it bolts on to brackets that he made which locate on the front bumper brackets, he told me how the top used to fix to the screen with suckers. We were lucky enough to find this screen in a huge pile of things that he was sorting out.

hats of to stig! he knew how to look after his ride! He also happened to be the best undersealer in sweden and didnt hesitate in giving his bus the best treatment too.

cheers guys.
we know we are very lucky!

Fantastic find, as good as the micro that was on theSamba.com a couple of years ago. It sold for 25000 euroes.
I think you should call your matlifting career quits now. You are never going to better this effort, everything else will be a letdown.
Congratulations and pass on our thanks to Stig!
I always wondered where th bloke on Top Gear lived and what he had in his garage.
