Meet 'Nanny' our 1969 early bay, she is a uk model with only 3 owners from new. She still has her original engine which starts and pulls fine. She has never had any welding and is solid so doesnt require any either, there are a few scabs on the paint work and a bit of patina however this is only cosmetic, She has only ever had a small amount of light restoration in the past. Alot of this bus is original german metal. From MOT history and what the previous owner has stated (family owned for 30 years) she has gone round the clock once, which means about 130k ish since new.

We have owner her for about 15 months and have put alot in to her, unfortunatly our circumstances have changed and we are now looking for something more modern.

Since owning her i have done the following

Rear brakes - shoes and cylinders
Front brakes - clean and adjustment (in good order so no need to replace)
Exhaust, tail pipe and heat exchangers - good second hand parts
new coil
HT leads
Distributor cap
points, condensor, oil change - recent
Carb rebuild
good tune up
Original wheels powdercoated red and chrome caps
New tyres all round - tyre size was with the view to lower her but havent got round to that!
Brand new jvc cd player
Cigarette lighter for sat nav


We have also given her a brand new interior consisting of
split bamboo and tropical weave
rock and roll bed - rear bed pad runs the width of the van to give a little extra sleeping space, all upholstery and foam brand new.
Retro style Pepsi drinks cooler
Pebble style flooring
Original front seats re-upholstered
Bespoke top locker, bench seat and fridge stand.

As previously stated she is a uk rhd model and not very often will you find one this solid having had sod all done to her, We have put our everything into this bus over the past year and only hope whoever gives her a new home loves her as much as we and previous owners have. she is a lovely old girl and we are sad to see her go.
