|
|
Hallo, i saw this panel van the other day. from the little I know i think it's a barndoor. Do you agree?
Also do you think it could be saved or it should be a donor bus? Does it have any value as is?
I only have these two photos for now, but I'll try to get some better ones. Sory for the quality of the photos...

Yep early 51 or maybe even late 1950.
Its restorable. I know a few who will want it of you.
Greece is the new place to find BDs it seems. _________________ 1951 Samba 20-017894

I was just about to say it has the early style tool chest panel and looks to be pre rear window. |

Wow! That's a really old one! Thanks for the info.
As you probably guessed, there is some interest for this bus, so I would like to ask what would a reasonable price for this bus be? Or what do barn doors like this in this condition sell for? |

You really need to know what the chassis number is as this will make a difference. _________________ 65 original paint so42 dormobile

To do the best for your sell. You need to post up the chassis number (could confirm its a 50) and ensure it's not been cut out. Unlikely but possible.
It's found here;

nice shot, no doubt it is a barndoor. I just think you should first take it home and then show it to the world:) _________________ 1952 Type 23A
