A few more SA Buses

Finally managed to retrieve the data from a faulty camera disk so here's a few more Buses from SA.

This Pink bus wasn't for sale at any price until I mentioned £1000 then he was VERY interested.

 

A couple of Ratty Splitties, virtually the only VW's at a Big Custom Show. (Photos on a thread later)

Wide five Rostyles are rare.


1st to spot the oddity wins...............................bugger all.

 

This one was "Free if you drag it away".

 

A double cab pick up with a 'tasteful' Mercedes Radiator added to keep the Toyota engine cool.
Yours for £1200 sterling or $1500US (paid into a Zimbabwean account!)

 

Edited as i was talking out my arse

 

I hope you've got your trailer then I'll take the free one

And the second splittys on 4 stud steels, if thats the oddity your talking about..

 

Theres no barndoor there..?

 

Yep i saw the wrong wheels on the split

 

I can see someone becoming an importer in the near future

 

And finally a couple of the Bus we bought which is now on a ferry back to Southampton.
It was hard to spot abandoned at the back of a covered car lot. Ex school bus with a verified 67000km on the clock!




Check out those seats!


Roof line looks perfect.


1700 Type 4 motor, drove all the way from Pretoria to Durban with just a split vacuum hose as a casualty.

 

You sir. Are a lucky ****************************************************

 

cant understand why no ones set up a shipping company over their , or ......................................................... you beat me to it para

 

nice one tbr , good trip

 

The problem with SA is you HAVE to be there, not like US where it can all be done over the internet and bank transfers.
In SA, wheels need oiling, palms need greasing and generally feck all happens without a Cheetah* in your palm.
That said, there are bargains out there, I have the contacts now and intend to do a run of buses in 2015, 1 per month.

* A Cheetah =


Technically it's a Leopard but even South Africans get the English double entendre.

 

Make sure you fill each bus with parts

 

yep, 4 bolt too. beetle?

 

I had a guy contact me from SA with a load of buses cheap, not sure i'd want to do remote trading their though, ok if you know the people but as you say, need to be there really. Nice bus, when does it arrive?

 

put me down for one then

 

I'd definitely be more interested in a SA bus than US just for the RHD.
