Hello everyone, just bought our first bus!

I think I should have taken some pictures first, I'll do them tomorrow...honest!

We just had a payout from a PPI claim (we are on that bandwagon as well) that we were going to use clear a credit card bill BUT whilst browsing around on Vzi I happened to spy a late bay Danbury 12 seat Microbus for sale and thought that looks more fun than being responsible

To cut a long story short we collected it today.

This is not our first Dub but it is our first venture into van ownership and I'm confident that parts will be a lot easier to source than they are for my 412 Variant and my 411 Sedan (currently being restored). As well as the 2 Type 4s we also have a '71 Beetle.

Look forward to catching up with some of you around at shows etc during the year, Shawn

Behind my 412



Not the prettiest van in the world I'll admit but tis very solid where it counts





Removed the buddy seats from the bukhead earlier as they were pretty useless as seats





And no holes in the headlining, it's just a bit grubby round the edges, any ideas what to use to clean it?

 

Hello and welcome nice microbus

Ciff actifizz multipurpose will clean the headling up a treat

 

Welcome along fella
Looks a sound micro that, nice collection you have ant pics of the others

 

our rather sorry looking 411 2 door sedan, more work than we first thought but worth it due to their scarcity



and Denises' bug

 

Hello & welcome - nice collection!

 

Hello and welcome :bag:

Welcome aboard.

Those 12 seaters are becoming rare now but not as rare as your 411. Very envious

hi mate, welcome to the site

 

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I didn't realise that the mini buses were getting rarer, although with all the camper converts around it's no real surprise.

But as we have this




we don't need a camping interior, just a towbar! And for those who don't know what it is, it's a 1978 Rapido Confort folding caravan that tows like this
