Michael Steinke is also into Split Westy Busses, and i know he has been to former jugoslavia a bunch of times. Maybe he can give you some pointers.

| Where'd you dig that up? Was it six feet under? You must feel like some body! It needs resurrecting. |

Nice find !
Usually they're not so nice !
They sell for 500 ish euros in Germany, but they are rust buckets !
Restored, in UK or in France, I've seen a couple proposed for 3000 euros lately...
Good luck for the sale. |

Well i found it on some guys back yard! He sells a lot of old and used stuff.. i saw it ..google it....and bought it cheap to be honest!!
Here in Serbia people dont mind if this is an original or not...they want original for the low price, and if they cant have it they buy new stuff made in some factory that makes reproduction...cheap! so they offered me 200euros! I wont even think about it!
This trailer is in a very good condition and i just don't know to sell it as it is and let the buyer restore it or to restore it my self and put the high price!

Appears to be very solid (especially @ drip rails).
I think your challenge selling this would be the previous bondo-work and repaint.
Also, these trailers are more of a novelty, so you just gotta wait for the right interested party.
I would just keep it myself.

Black would have been original and appropriate, but its yours to do what you like eh?

Keep in mind that there is a BIG following of professional cars (hearses, etc) and related stuff. There also is a company in England that has VW hearses and limos for funerals. Your location obviously has its limitations, but you may find a buyer who can deal with all of that. I would suggest Ebay. And this is from a guy who is comverting a 73 bug into a hearse....

Moderator note:
I removed a string of posts that are too close to a "for sale" ad.
If you want to sell it, post an ad in the classifieds.
If you want to post more information and photos, I am sure people are interested in that but keep the for sale content to the classifieds section only.
Thank you.
