Wahooooo!! We've done it again...

[THE LAST PANZER]

After a really shite year in 2009, we're finally back having risen from the ashes (literally), with "Phoenix", our new '71 deluxe 9-seater microbus!!!

Here he is when we picked him up yesterday:

Had a good look round it today:

I was so excited!!

Clean, tidy dash

Rear

Mint headliner

Double seat up front

Tidy full bulkhead

Sliding door

Tight opening vents

Under the dash is like new

It needs a couple of little bits tidying up - battery tray and a dent in the roof and gutter (looks like something has fallen on it at some point) before we can get it ready for a UK MOT. Although the front has a layer of filler on it, it's not rotten, just had a slight knock and it's been smoothed with filler, so going to get that sorted properly too.

Other than that, it's extremely solid and mostly original and we're just bursting with excitement to get it on the road before the summer!!!

Hope to meet some of you at some shows this year!!

James & Rach

Hiya mate hope the dash did the job for you, in terms of been on the road before you i'm not to sure about that as it does need a bit of work for the MOT and we are totally clearded out of all funds after buying it............but so what we have a cool bus to tinker with while we're ready for the road

Maybe see you at some shows very soon
