Arrived at last...

it is very rust free, even the battery tray is perfect! it has a small bit around the outer middle seat mount on the cargo floor, cab floor edges and like i said minor lower screen rust. i think some of the upper green paint is original and the roof definately is. the headliner is in good clean condition with only a couple of small tears. it has curtain rails already fitted too. interior is generally filthy and a little tatty but that's all easily sortable. engine is missing but the rear support bar is there, rear bumper is missing but i have a battered blade i'll throw in(no brackets). Basically it's a quick and easy project with great camper potential or a bit of an earner with the way bay prices are rising. it was built Oct 69.

price is £3250 onvo as is

Due to the lack of decent rust free early Deluxes(or any early pre Aug 70 bays for that matter) coming up for sale in America i am raising the price of this bus to...

As is £4000

with rebuilt 1600sp engine £4500

mot'd, UK reg'd, lowered 3 1/2-4" all round with an adjuster in the front beam £6500

check out the last 10 pages of the samba for bays for sale and you will see my point. i am happy to sit on this bus until i get time to put it on the road, people seem to think the market for early Bay's is swamped at the moment, it's true there have been a load come in in the last couple of years but they are now running out and once people realise there is not a never ending supply the price will rise... so there you go, i don't expect anyone to jump on this bus after i just raised the price... but the time for it being a bargain has passed i'm afraid

Too right buddy

looks a solid bus with potential , its one of those leave as is and enjoy or spend out and restore and create something individual . There does seem to be a shortage of good solid bus like this one at the minute .

Sold...

Nice one Tim someone has a cool bus there

Did it stay local?

I'll definately be keeping an eye out for it!

That could turn into an amazing bus....Tim are you not keeping the Citrus Valley showground bus ? I'll buy it !

there are 3 people in the que already to buy the Citrus Valley bus... and i'm keeping it anyway, just ran out of time to get it on the road for this summer so it'll be a personal next winter project...

If you change your mind, you could put it up for auction.....its how all masterpieces tend to go.....

hows the citrus valley bus coming on , that was the one on the trailer in the camper mag when they featured tim's white westy

My friends paul and amy bought the jordans bus, look out for it at sandown 09 outside
