On the hunt......

[calibay]

I'm on the hunt for an early tin top that I can import from a dry state in the US. Ive imported a bus this year from California and it was super dry and solid so have decided that I would like another, however I'm struggling. I've tried the samba and the odd add on Craig's list but every time I try and talk to someone it has either been sold of they want cash which is hard to do when your 5000 miles away

Does any of have a contact in the US that'd they would recommend who may have or could find me an early bay. I have a budget of about $10000

Many thanks

Chris

Still looking, tin top would be great, not worried about the condition of the engine, or rear interior, just would like rust free and straight.

I have a 1970 tin top baywindow, it is solid but there are areas of rust coming through. It has a 1641 with twin 40 idf carbs unfortunately the bottom end went last week the day before I had someone coming to view it. Inside there are 7 seats with belts and a full width r and r bed. It is tidy but not spectacular. I was going to be asking £8k but could negotiate over the engine. You can have it as it is or I can fit a new engine. It is also converted to run on lpg.
