UPDATED - looking for my dads early bay - reg HWC239H

[StripedHemi]

firstly hello everyone im new here not new to the scene but alas ive not been fortunate to own an Early bay... currently i have a 66 split, previously had bugs, golfs and a late bay.. probably not that relevent so i'll continue

other than being a EB fan the reason im posting here is im looking to see if i can find my dads old camper from back in the 80's, wondering if its still out there etc etc

now i dont have a lot of info at the mo so im not expecting miracles but i can give you what i know at the mo.....

1970 i assume as it was an 'H' reg, right hand drive orange and white danbury with popup roof.. the reg is distinctive being HWC***H, hoping that might job some memories, my mum recalls it by saying hot water company lol... now i do have pictures at my parents house which i shall dig out whilst there next week and i'll scan them for upload

so for now i'll expect not a lot of progrees due to me needing the full reg but i appreciate the imput and you guys maybe keeping an eye out as you look thru your show pics etc

im off to look thru the gallery at some of your stunning buses... thanks guys hope to speak soon

Paul



Update: found the pics of the bus and the reg was: HWC239H pics will follow once ive recieved them thru email

you might already know this but if you can gleen the full reg from a picture for example you can check it on the dvlc site and see if its still on the road,or when it was last taxed :mrgreen:

There is a section of volkszone dedicated to these searches. It's called 'lost & found'. Type in your reg ( without the space) and see if anyone recognises it! Long shot but worth a go. Good luck ;-)
