Here's my '60 Mango (built in December '59), arriving back in NL ready for fit-out after an extensive restoration in the UK (mostly putting right some pretty poor work done before importing from the US in 2013) and incredible OG paint blend.
This is going to be an epic bus finished - watch this space!

Hi fellow mango owners
So I’m the proud owner of a German built RHD 1959 mango bus with semaphores.
I’m the 2nd owner and it’s has 9,676 original miles on the odometer.
I’ve started a Instagram account which I will document the restoration.
If you want to follow this very special restoration check out IG.
“vw_splitscreen_resto_1959”
I will also post pictures on here from time to time.
Thanks |

I have some original paint cargo doors and 1st and 3rd row seat backrests with original upholstery for mango bus in the classifieds for sale in Austria. Maybe someone needs them?! Upholstery could be sold separately eventually for easier shipping

No, it is not. A humpback seat has unique springs (round) that form the humps. This seat does not have those springs.

Putting some miles on the fresh engine and transmission rebuild while the weather is cooperative in the PNW.

Finally got to take the '59 for a spin,have only driven around just a bit around the neighborhood ,but now I got my registration all somewhat cleared up and a fresh Historic vehicle plate on it.
Need to get all of the junk out of the inside and get some metal work done
What are the options for correct or somewhat close to correct caramel seat covers? I need to do my front bench at some point
