It´s safe in a garage. No one hacked it up. They just left some useless rusty crap.

But someone forgot the interior light Smile

And I´m pretty sure we will see it back on the road in a couple of years... I think the restoration has already started.

I was interested in this one about 5 years ago, then I heard that someone had cut the tags out, and taken some more of the parts, so it became a bit confusing about who owned the bus, and who if anybody owned the identity! Laughing

Someone on here cut the tags out, so should be easy to get back. Why on earth they would do that is another question all together.
