  1. Likewise but if I could sell mine for that it would be gone .

  2. Agreed, when I saw the asking price I was expecting something "new old stock" that had been sat in a Garage unused and in as new condition!
    It still has 73k miles on it for goodness sake, I reckon it's about £20k overpriced at £55k. I suppose everyone's always trying to find that one loaded sucker..., I blame the celebrity interest in VW buses, it's done the scene no good at all.

    The Celebes moved on from campers a good 10 years ago….they all arrive by Range Rover and plonk their arses in glamping pods and yurts!

  4. Seinfeld, the fat US comedian guy who collects buses and Ewan Mcgregor obviously didn't get the memo on that one lol!

    I’m not really buying that list as the zeitgeist driving force of celebs you might imagine.

    I mean, I’ve never been asked if I bought mine because if Ewan McGregor…

  8. I don't suppose many bought a T2 just because of a celebrity having one, I meant more that it sets a higher baseline price as they overpay for them. Thinking about it though, it's mainly splits they seem interested in anyway, rather than lowly bays. ;)
     
  9. Just as a follow up to this, it got relisted numerous times and finally the last listing for £30,500 didn't run it's full course, ended as no longer available. So looks like it finally sold for an offer outside of ebay for something less than £30.5k.
     
  10. I have just bought PKE302L which is RHD with the gas vents and what I believe is the Malaga interior

    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    73 bus with a later roof. 73 had front hinged and IIRC so did Malaga's.
    This is probably wrong but I think Rear hinged ones were all Berlins. Anybody?
    Where's @Moons when you need him. (Yeah, yeah, I know where he is, you know what I mean. :) )

    Whatever - Nice looking bus!
    Any more pictures? The Nerds will tell you what you've got.

    My only query is the elevating roof and the fuel filler. Also has a fixed rear hand quarter light.
    Still a very nice bus and desirable.
