Hi there,
Last month i've been lucky enough to find and rescue this 1955 panelvan :
If you want to know how we rescued it, you may have a look at this video !
Otherwise here are a few pictures, as found.
I'll update the thread later with more pictures ! ;)
Best regards |

Wow, great video!
How far could you drive the white Panel into the forest and how far did you have to haul some parts and tools from that Panel to the 1955 Bus?
I love that image of the 2 guys carrying the engine on their shoulders. |

Hi Everett,
It was 500-600m far from where the white brand new T6 has stopped :)
the track was sloping and muddy !! not easy to carry all the stuffs by foot here, it was raining and the 4x4 failed to climb :)

Being so deep in the forest I wondered how you were going to get it out, then when you said you "had an idea", I thought, oh my God, they're going to drive it out!
And you did!
Amazing work and the cinematography was outstanding. |
