I guess as it's an ambulance with a large hatch they had to put the spare somewhere

hmm never seen that before

Im guessing thise quick fold down seats would be cool for anyone who had large luggage or for hauling cargo like a panel or kombi.

That is what they did on the early production ambulance...I believe my ambulance is the oldest know production ambulance..

Unfortunately the interior is missing and it doesnt have full width dash or cab divider but still interesting as all delux trim appears original to bus and it has the rear hatch....

cool bus,is it a 53? visors look neat too,did it possibly have any kind of wall dividing the cargo area over the engine bay? might explain the upper vents

looks like an austrian panel
have seen a few converted to micros
looks like it was cheaper in taxes to import a panel, then convert to micro

the last one I saw had nice complete interior masonite side paneling, headliner and even a coachbuilder tag inside-very nice work

similar of importing panels was done in S America at dealers with t3 panels and then order a bunch of side fixed glass, rubber and moulding. less expensive (taxes) it was to import a panel or commercial vehicle than a passenger vehicle. just remove the fixed window panels, replace with orig glass, seals and moulding and out to the showroom as a passenger vehicle.

Where is the grey taxi BD? That bus is amazing, I'd give my liver for that bus.

Anyone know where it is? and what it's up to?

Here's another one, it has the cab divider and rear hatch, cant tell if it's got the full width dash or rear delux trim. Found in Sweden. Pics from http://www.meanbugs.com/punbb/upload/viewtopic.php?id=4304&p=1
