 Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2009 3:33 am Post subject: London Big Ben Barndoor Deluxe? |
 |
|
At Bad Camberg in 07 there was a German gentlemen selling old VW mags out the back of his pick-up (near the basketball nets)
One old magazine, in colour on the cover, had a UK Barndoor Deluxe pictured in a London scene which showed the Houses of Parliament & Big Ben in the background
Does anyone have a picture of that cover?
Or know what issue it was?
Not sure of the magazine - it could have been
>VW Informationen (the internal publication for Volkswagen dealers)
>Gute Fahrt
>Other
Just interested to see the picture again

I don't think I have seen the photo you are talking about, but this one came to mind. It is similar to what you describe...barndoor, big tower. This is a Gute Fahrt cover.
Photo below hotlinked from Tonny's site:

Never seen that pic Chris. I would be interested to see it too. Can't recall ever seeing it on a VW Information or Gute Fahrt cover. |

Hi,
the BD deluxe pic in London you are talking about was also published on the front cover of the Bullikartei´s Club Magazine in 1997.
Maybe you can get more info on www.bullikartei.de

Good work!
Looks like it's a 53-55 LHD bus, and registered in London in '55. It would have been exxxxtra-specially nice if it was a RHD British bus, but then again, you can't have everything.
Thanks for posting. |
