WANTED Early Bay Tin Top Bus

[phil_n]

As title.

Preferably a US import, either a microbus or camper. This is going to be our 'forever' bus so I want something solid which could be improved upon, but enjoyed in the meantime. I think the Mrs is warming to something that has a bit of 'history' on the patina front, but nothing too extreme.

We have a budget of around £10k.

A photo of our last early bay, as everyone loves a nice photo.

I have an old imported sunroof bus which now has a westy roof on but have the original sunroof. Loads of money/time spent on it. Pics on Ebay item number 262255520755

I have a 67 RHD microbus that has had Windows fitted to the side and a basic camping interior many years ago.

Hi there,

I do think i have what you're looking for. The budget is about spot on... so is the condition you want. I bought the bus for me and work started already by a professional restorer. Unfortunately my plans changed...my loss might be your gain.
It's a Californian 1970 Montana red walkthrough deluxe microbus early bay. Matching numbers. Solid as a rock. No welding or else to be done to the body. What had to be done to the body has just been completed. Already primed for painting. Can be driven straight away after sorting the brakes out and checking the engine. The bus was running when bought.
Have a look at some pix...if you're interested PM me to get more details and pictures.
The bus is located in Belgium and will be put on the market soon. All import taxes are already paid of course...
Best regards,

bello35

Thanks for the replys,

I've viewed a couple already, but think I must be getting a bit more fussy the older I get. Either that or very concious how long all of the little jobs that soon mount up take!

There's a couple I want to try and look at this week, but work keeps getting in the way.

Mine is still available, come and see it you won't be disappointed.

Have a couple of early bays and not that far away. http://www.vwsunshine.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A bit more than your preferred budget, but looks pretty solid and ready to go.
And no, I have no link to the vendor, just browsing myself for my possible next bus!

We've now sourced a nice bus.

Thanks for the help.
