Midland Early Bay - New Unit, New Stock

[Graham L]

As some of you may be aware we moved premises over the christmas period literally across the car park from our last unit, so we are now based in Unit 2, 300 sq ft bigger but the same rent :mrgreen:

Well we thought the new unit would be big enough but we already seem to be full, we had 2 buses arrive yesterday and 2 more arrive today all courtesy of Craig at BC Recovery (can't recommend him enough)

So if you are on the look out we currently have a stock of 6 buses to chose from, all tintops but 2 sunroof buses in there and a westy poptop on its way soon as well.

The two blue twins that arrived yesterday

The unit after they arrived and where stored (2 more buses and lift out of shot)

The 2 new ones that arrived today (on Craigs new set up), the gold one with a 6 cylinder Corvair unit in it,

So if you are on the hunt for a bus give us a call, we may just have what you are looking for 8) 8)

corvair buses are a rare breed. i only know of one on the road in the uk running mega squirt. i looked at doing one once as a couple of engine turned up on ebay but they spin the wrong way so you need to by a conversion for the gbox so it doesnt do 100mph in reverse. hope it remains a corvair bus only a lot lower. they made a 180bhp turbo corvair back in the 60's :shock: there is some footage on you tube of them. v nice

To think I passed on a corvair engine westy a few years ago :roll: , it drove nice and much quiter.

Thanks Guys

Not had a chance to look at the corvair engine in detail but did a search and its still possible to get parts for it from the states and after I bought the bus I acquired a book on tuning corvair engines which I'll gladly let go with the bus.

Will try and get it up and running over the next week 8), it utilises the same mounts the moustache bar attaches to so apart from the rear valance and the sides of the engine bay there appears to be no other mods

Nice collection of vans there. Loving the Covair one, that will make a great project for someone.
