Great video (although sub titles in this one would have been useful for me as a non German speaker).
I’m interesting to see and learn more about your new 52 and 54 finds Florian
Many thanks

Dave, it has subtitles, default is german, but english is a choice i the settings.
German subtitles for german content is not that unusual, as local dialects can vary greatly in Germany. _________________ regards

Thanks! I didn’t see any subtitles, I must get more observant and I’ll also look for the settings and opt for English. Thanks Mandraks |

I don’t think safaris were an option until around 53 |

Amazing progress on this bus, considering how bad it was. Interested to hear about the 52 and 54 you located Florian - any pics of these? I am sure I am not the only one who is curious! Every time we think all barndoors have been located - more appear. |

Nice job!
Second oldest samba, I have never seen or heard about the oldest surviving samba, does anyone have any pictures and/or information about it? _________________ Why have a good looking face? You can't even see your own face! |

if you look at the barndoor registry at http://barndoor.dk, you will find a picture of Claus von Schmelings bus:
Ch.number 20-013924.
Type 24G.
Last updated March 2021.
It still exists and it is older than Florian's, and it is a legit Type 24.

A great video on the Vewib YT channel of Florian and his 1951 Barndoor Samba driving on the the Highway to Hessisch Oldendorf in 2022. Great to see this bus riding on it's own power again, and according to Florian's comments, it drives really good too! There are subtitles in English available.
