my panel's a Belgian bus, but they're six days apart in build dates (panel is 10th Jan & kombi is 16th Jan). They were reunited for many years at Iains place in Scotland before Ben bought the Kombi to restore and I bought the Panel to restore.
Here's Dai's 50, my panel and my kombi in Iains barn a good few years ago .............
and other one of the kombi at Spa...
What a great weekend!! |

The '51 in the Sunday sunshine ...........what an ace show!

Saw this on the Ferry at the end of July, taking my 60 up through Northern Europe - currently camping in Gothenberg. Tried to track it down to have a look on the Ferry but it had disappeared behind a sea of Trucks I think

| I'm not sure myself Ben, but was hoping to take a bus that was a little more "stock". Be nice to get the two of them together one day though for sure |

Nice little feature in Septembers VolksWorld C&B. Thought it would be fun to feature two '51s together for a change
