It was actually found a few years ago and has since disappeared. Being an original UK one makes it super-rare. I do not know its current whereabouts, but I have a horrible suspicion it got stripped for parts! |

Entirely possible that it got sliced unfortunately, hope not though!! Anybody seen any of the bits from it? Small world, someone must have seen something of the bits? _________________ To catch a fish, you must first think like a fish.... |

posting this the way you did and letting all the hype build was kinda lame. _________________ Extravagant Lifestyle

if it was stripped and you find out who did it could you please kick them in the balls for me (and not just a love tap, a full on pre stretched, steelcapped, with run up, put 'em in hospital, type boot.) thanks. |

The pictures (and several other detailed ones, which I won't bother posting) were taken a few years ago by a friend who went to collect some Beetle parts that were for sale. The BD was parked in the corner of the barn.
I am on the trail of this bus (or possibly its remains).
Very local to where I live, there is also a '50 panel. |
