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! Shocked

An original UK bus, not too many of them!

Where did you get the pictures from Rich?

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? Confused

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

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.

Where did you get the pictures from Rich?


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.
