Early for dual treasure chest.
Looks like special color as well. Dove blue would have white/blue two tone bumpers. This looks like single tone bumpers, and the wheels are not white. |

Is that a Westy fully set up in the top left hand corner? Bet the salesman was pretty good at putting it up doing that every day

A lone single cab,taken from footage of construction of the Tay bridge in Dundee in Scotland.
Here is a link to the documentary if anyone is interested-hope it works!,it’s very of the time but I like watching old stuff, I hope nobody minds me adding the extra stuff with the vintage picture.
the single cab comes in at 3:38 or so.

And my bus in front of the Tay Bridge.

In that photo it appears the bus is electric receiving its power from the overhead wires.
Also tell how the awesome fold-away step works.
Are the taillights factory? |
