Need all of the information I can get on this bus alone.
--WHAT I KNOW--
-Last known location is the outskirts of Johannesburg, Africa 1951-1965
-Either the bus is Swedish or African
-Used as a transporter commercially for Monark Motorcycles
-Potentially located on a river
-Riding on a barge in the photo
-Dry climate, bus is (likely) still "intact"
--WHAT I DONT KNOW--
-The Bus's location
-If original driver is still alive
-Who the people in the background are (Uniforms could be useful)
-What the side states
-When the bus was last in service
-THE VILLAGE IT IS LOCATED AT IN THE PICTURE - CRUTIAL IN FINDING ROUTES FROM THE ORIGINAL "FACTORY"
--CONCLUSION--
If anyone has any information on this bus, it would be greatly appreciated, reply to this thread or email me at [email protected]
Thanks for looking! |

Yes, Swedish plates, Stockholm to be exact.
Swedish speedway driver "Varg-Olle" Nygren and a few more drove down to Johannesburg on bikes från Sweden and the bus was a "teambus", do not know anything else I´m afraid... Oh, "Varg-Olle" sadly past away a month ago.
