 |
|
Does anybody know? Ever since one of the first exports (Ritchie King's best-in-the-world '54) and to the latest boat roofs and falling tree-victims... the number is large!Truly amazing how many Barndoors in general and De luxes in particular that has made their way accross the pond.
I am sure some of you brits know exactly how many - my guess is 20 DeLuxes....?!
And...what is left in Sweden? 5? (if that many...)
What do you say....Englishmen and Swedes? |

I reckon
>9 ex-Swedish BD DLXs in the UK (some extremely ropey)
>1 ex-Swedish BD DLX Boatbus in the UK (soon to be 2  )
>1 ex-Swedish, ex-UK BD DLX now in the USA (The Ritchie King DLX)
>4 (generally known) BD DLXs in Sweden (1 recently imported) - & hopefully a fair few more to be outed or discovered!

Well I saw the King bus mentioned being as it is in the States now so I thought I would chime in....
When I went to bed I had remembered that the Thom bus was actually the other Ex Jonas Bus, sold to Fuentes,and then to Thom. |
