apparently "Das Gewand" (the robe) was the first full feature movie filmed in Cinemascope in 1953.

My cool Feb '63 panel. Super original and remarkably solid (needs cab floor section)

The original 1500 SP has been replaced with a 1200cc engine #50458**

M Plate decoded:

L84 - White / 80 - Grey interior

425 - North American export package.

Plan is try to recover original signwriting 'Pleasing Particular People, Pond's Dry Cleaning & laundry' and treat the body with boiled linseed oil or Owatrol oil paint conditioner.

I am not going to slam it or do anything naughty for the time being, new cab window rubbers, etc.

Fichtel & Sachs headquarters in my hometown. not just the famed sachs motor, but also clutches, automatic transmissions, etc. shocks, ball bearings, you name it, if it moves in a car it was made in my hometown. SKF as well.

SW is the licenseplate for Schweinfurt.

I don't recall the logos down the side in that build thread and now I can't find the build thread at all? It was one of my favorites, this version of the quality sound bus is interesting but it's still a killer bus and back story.
