I've had a procession of late bays over the years, but not had a bus at all for a few. In the past we always had reasonably smart shiney campers for family holidays, but now the wife's left home I can have what I like. 8)
So, it had to be early tin-top and deluxe and something slightly different in some way or other. I was looking at a 70 with a Corvair engine for about six months, but by the time I was in a position to buy, Mr6x6 on here had snapped it up and looks to be having fun with it. So....
I decided what I wanted was a dark coloured 68 tintop deluxe with the front smashed in. I don't know why. I didn't want to do too much welding, but it doesn't put me off if it's all in one place!
I looked on here and Spike had one so I bought it the next day, but just got hold of it today.
Front well and truly bashed in - just what I wanted - I could have crashed one myself, but you can't fake a proper accident and it would have felt a bit naughty deliberately crashing it. Not to mention I might have over-done it.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
You can't beat a "spare on the front" bump.
