    Henry ought to get some more latebays into the magazine & make it a bit less early & split orientated. There has been a few recently but some of those have been g'Day Kombi buses - there are lots on here worthy of a feature, Henry good luck fella!

    Also something that has come to my attention recently that every program I see on TV looking at the past, in the background is always a Late Bay (Not early or Split) It seems we where a big lover of the Late in this country. Also to back this up every Early I see is a lefty meaning that it was imported and prob in the past not that many in this country. So if we are staying true to our british retro beliefs then Late it is. Oh deer I prob opened a can of worms - Just an observation.

    Somone may have some sheet of all the ones which was produced in this country and prove me wrong. Or maybe we just started filming more general stuff in the 70s.

    It feels these days that Late is the underdog and its all about the Early.

    PS I also would love an Early, they are good looking, but Late is also.

  6. The lates are fine ,great layout the berlin and worth importing ,but the earlies are shocking inside ,no idea why people would import that conversion.

  7. Lates are very underrated, had a look round many buses and conversions, and a late Berlin just works really well, with a 2l engine too you have an awesome package.

    I still love the look of a split, but not to drive and camp in

    Might even send a picture, mines never been in print, but it is just another late westy ;-)

    Be good to see some of the other conversions in good condition, or holdsworth, Viking, jurgens etc

    yeah I sure did, there seems to be a few more getting featured - the white westy in the latest one is great, I love what theyve done with the poptop, makes it look brighter inside!
     
  10. Agreed. Can't say i'm of the patina front fan club though. Did it also feature the EB high top?

  13. Ours was featured a couple of years ago in the "show us your ride" section, and Camper & Bus actually got in contact with me asking for pic's and a write up ;)

    I think this was the mag it was in?

  14. Yes. I've only just come back to this thread, thanks for all of the nice welcome comments, everyone!

    I feel it's time to bounce this thread, as I'm after more Late Bays (or other) for our Show Us Yours section in Camper&Bus.

    Please get in touch with a few pics and a brief bio of your ride, I'd love to hear from you all. Send us an email on camperandbus@ipcmedia.com, or if it's easier, point me in the direction of a thread you might have pictures on already.

    :cheers:
