My 55 deluxe is from the same place Neuilly, Paris/France and has the M124 Yellow headlights. Is the yellow just a yellow bulb or is it a differnt lens?

They guy that had my bus for a long time, Tom B, gave me some yellow bulbs. I assume they are correct, but cant guarantee 100%.

On another note, how many other barndoor busses had the seat belt M-code? Was it a very common option?

My 55 has the steering dampener


Indicates Steering Dampener would be M018, M083 (listed incorrectly), or M086?

I would say none of those because my other US Barndoors did not have the dampener.

I've just received my BC back and mine also seems to have a few similar unknowns....

1954 221 Microbus delivered to Seattle.

M 018 - unknown
M 020 - MPH speedometer
M 083 - Walkthrough cab
M 086 - unknown
M 090 - Laminated windscreen glass
M 099 - unknown
M 103 - Heavy duty shock absorbers

I haven't checked for the steering dampener yet. Will have to have a look next time. But I suppose it would make sense with the heavy duty shocks and M 099 being tubeless mud & snow tyres.

Not sure about the rear lenses as although mine has a complete set I don't think they were the originals, as the PO said the bus had some other lights fitted when he got it. It does have the unfluted front lenses though. Could M 018 and M 086 be some sort of US spec front and rear lights?

Oh yeah......it definitely doesn't have a walkthrough cab either.

Does anybody have pictures of original 010 dustfilters?

I got my birth certificate yesterday, and its coded for 010 and 009. I don't see anything special around the vents for filters...was it just the engine air filter?

RockStock Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:21 am

nice bus son!

to the UK?

Fonz Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:49 am

Already in the UK. :wink: :D

Looks like we'll have to compare notes to see if we can workout what M 083 is.

My first post here at TheSamba...
I believe that the M 010 dustfilter was the "cyclone air filter". Saw this information somewhere here...

My birth certificate cames with this information "M 010", and my BD have the cyclone air filter...

That sounds reasonable.
