located Spalding lincs, previously in Tounge end in an old blokes greenhouse for many years! Built in feb 1970 but has disc brakes and 5/112 stud pattern,I thought that was for vans after aug 1970, so cant explain that one.

Only paid £400 for it,and looking at prices on the forums, I must have trebled my money by now!

Restoration work to start as soon as I have room in my bodyshop.

Oh nearly forgot it's a dormobile camper.

Originaly delivered to: Heitz and Co volkswagen dealers, Munchener, Strabe Germany on the Tourist programme on May 19th 1970!
Now located: Oxford England
Owned by: Graham and Catherine Lange
Interesting history/stories: Completely stock vehicle with factory fitted Dormobile roof and Oslo interior. Even has the original lino and roof canvas! Owned for 31 years by the first owner who was from Washington State in the US but bought her when posted in Italy. When only a few weeks old she did a trip through Italy, France to the UK, taking in Oxford en route to Scotland! In '72 she went to the States and continued to be used. In 91 she was sold to a friend, they hit a deer and then she was parked up for 8 years till they repaired her. They gave up on that idea and put her up for sale on ebay where we bought her and shipped her back to the UK.

We have original photos showing her being picked up at the dealer, the original bill of sale, all the manuals, service books, bills, etc dating back to year dot and loads of other photos, etc. NEVER been welded and not even a spec of rust anywhere - even her cab floors are perfect!

The only problem we have had mechanically was the steering - we got a replacement steering box which helped a bit but she still wallowed. We thought some new tyres might help and in the process found the real problem - her 4 tyres were half filled with water!! The fault we think of a damp compressor![img]

Thanks dora for posting, sounds like a really good bus with great history! would love to see some pics if you wouldn't mind posting some?

Here's some pics of dora...the explorer?







Does the petrol heater work?

Sadly we haven't got it working yet. We think it's a fuel pump problem and is just about to go in to be sorted. We got the fan working and checked the other usual suspects but it still isn't pumping any fuel in - doesn't appear to be pressuring up. Hopefully this should sort it for an early outing in the Spring.
