Has anyone ever seen another Lotus White standard microbus? Seems like I only ever see them in deluxes. Can't be too many of these around..

I have one. It's been partially over-painted with blue at some point, but the M Plate indicates that it's a factory Lotus White Standard Microbus.

Sweet, it looks like the re-paint might come off nicely too.

Neat, that has a really cool look to it right now.
I agree on the Lotus White Micro being uncommon.
I feel like there's not even that many solid Lotus White Deluxes around either.

That there is the rarest color of front emblem, lotus white. Only seen on one rare model for two years. If you thought a titian red emblem was rare, this one makes titan red look common.

He does not, unless he got it in the last month or two since we discussed this very topic, and I am sure he would have told me if he had got one.
If the bus was cheaper, one or the other of us might buy it just to high-grade the emblem off of it....

The thought did cross my mind. 
As Lind mentioned, its probably the rarest of the Standard emblems. Never seen one in person, only pictures.

Hello,
Am I the only one thinking this is a good priced bus? I might be missing something. Not cheap but looking at the market prices...

Sadly probably so. Factory ambulance fans, 6-pop-outs, safaris, 90% complete interior, mango paint possibly well preserved? I'm betting it's a tourist delivery too (Euro bumpers original?). Pretty neat bus.
Compared to the run of the mil 21 w/d conversion for the same $$ it's a bargain.

The ad says “no ambulance fans at this price”. 
Seems way overpriced to me, with rust, and not knowing if that OG paint is actually under there or not.
Is a subhatch and a (clapped out) SO23 interior worth the extra $25k he wants over the price of a kombi in similar condition? And him keeping the ambulance fans lol |
