We have just located this old bus which it turns out according to barndoor.dk to be the oldest RHD panel van but also the oldest VW bus of any type known to exist. February 52.
Will be going to a new owner soon for restoration. |

the best wound is in the cargo door, shot with the door swung open so there's the corresponding ding on the rear quarterpanel behind the bullet hole in the door.
Looking forward to seeing the resto progress... |

Tim did it have a rear hatch or was the window cut out?
Are you gonna take it back to Dove Blue or leave the red and white?
