1967 VW 13 Window Deluxe - No Reserve

This bus was brought over from California in 2009 by The Old Dub Shop after sitting idle for some years. I took delivery of it in June 2010 following an intensive 'under the skin' restoration. whilst ensuring that the original look was retained. I now need to sell the bus as it is a very expensive toy that I don't use and I have moved to a house that doesn't have the space for it! It was used a couple of times last year and then parked up at my work. I rolled it out a couple of days ago for the first time in about 8 months and started it without any problems. I am more than happy to arrange viewing. just give me a call or drop an e-mail. Unfortunately I'm not willing to hand over the keys for a test drive unless you can prove you have valid insurance. If you are really serious about buying. I can take you out for a drive.

This is a fantastic quality bus. loaded with good quality extras. It looks rough on the outside. but that's because I love the Original/Rat Look! Not much short of £20k has been spent on it. and it was in pretty good condition when originally imported.

It will need a couple of bits sorting to go through the MOT this year these include: One front indicator not currently working (probably a loose wire). windscreen squirters and horn disconnected. Oh and the windscreen wipers are crap. but it has never bothered me because I didn't take it out if it was raining. Will probably cost a couple hundred quid (or free if you do it yourself). to get a new MOT not £000's like a lot of the shiny looking busses out there!

Boring money type stuff:

There is no reserve. I am selling it for the price it reaches at auction.
