Are u using post image.org?
ahh..thanx thejinx..never saw that - the photos appear a bit small but you can click on them to enlarge them..
so here goes..
found this in Darlington--183 miles from me, but it was worth the drive!
71 deluxe from California - imported by FBI in 2009 - very clean bus - repainted in 2009/2010 but the guy I bought it off who has owned it since 2009.
Logbook says 2 owners - maybe the 1 owner in the US is a default when a bus is imported, or maybe it did have just 1 owner in the US?
No welding or bodywork has been done as far as i am aware - the paint job was just a refresh - still looking mint after 9 years.
Westfalia Campmobile with retrimmed seats & rear to match - very original & everything works. Got the service history & diagnostic documents from new. Still got the original lino down on the floor.
1700 type 4 which runs like a sewing machine, on original rebuilt carbs but with electronic ignition.
Drives like new with empi shifter.
It has been lowered slightly at the front on adjusters.
I always lower my buses and put some alloys on, but not sure that would be doing the right thing by the bus, so my plans as it stands are whitewall tyres (just ordered some off ebay
), deluxe trim & some baby moons.
