Very nice 23 window, very nice pictures of your safari through your safaris.....

Could you give some back story on your bus? Where did you find it, what condition was it in, etc? That would be cool, thanks.

Hi to all

Was away a bit . The bus was imported new to South Africa in 59 and sold by Capital motors in Pretoria.
I found the bus with a forum member here" fig" at his plot in the Vaal river here in South Africa after he owned it for few years. I am still thank full that he sold me the bus as there was quite a bit of pressure from other buyers.
The bus was complete but had an accident that was repaired badly in the 80s and also quite bit of rust.
