Here´s is another one, a Kombi with Safaris. I took this foto about 25 years ago in Lisbon (Restelo). I spent my holidays in Portugal and my beetle had broken down and the owner (who btw still today owns a very nice oval beetle, family heritage...um grande abraco para ti, Ricardo!) of this bus was so nice that he allowed me to drive his bus instead for a few days...but before that I had to install an engine on the sidewalk, without a workplace or anything...

I do not know what happened to this bus, I believe the owner sold it years ago.

Hey guys! I have a complete top and bottom portugal made far rear seat that came out of a Barndoor. I'm talking big springs and killer original matireal still intact. I would prefer to see it go back to one of these Rare birds. PM me. The top piece is in my classifieds.

Do you have a foto?? was this kombi special ordered with the upper vents?

Sun Nov 03, 2013 2:11 pm

I was always under the impression, all Portuguese buses were imported as panel vans and then converted. Hence the upper vents. But looking through this thread there's a few without them??

Chez's 53 is a portugese bus

I have no idea what it's portugese registration number was though

Not all the buses sold in Portugal were converted from panel vans. This practice from the national dealer at the time started somewhere in late 52 or early 53.

My January 52 bus don't have the ventilation louvres.

Really ? I thought this bus was a former Austrian thing?
maybe it's my misunderstanding because there are several lowered, Fuchsed, lightblue/white patinaed buses out there.
