whats up with that bulkhead? or am I missing something?

I guess as it's an ambulance with a large hatch they had to put the spare somewhere |
hmm never seen that before
Im guessing thise quick fold down seats would be cool for anyone who had large luggage or for hauling cargo like a panel or kombi.

Unfortunately the interior is missing and it doesnt have full width dash or cab divider but still interesting as all delux trim appears original to bus and it has the rear hatch....

looks like an austrian panel
have seen a few converted to micros
looks like it was cheaper in taxes to import a panel, then convert to micro
the last one I saw had nice complete interior masonite side paneling, headliner and even a coachbuilder tag inside-very nice work
similar of importing panels was done in S America at dealers with t3 panels and then order a bunch of side fixed glass, rubber and moulding. less expensive (taxes) it was to import a panel or commercial vehicle than a passenger vehicle. just remove the fixed window panels, replace with orig glass, seals and moulding and out to the showroom as a passenger vehicle. |

Where is the grey taxi BD? That bus is amazing, I'd give my liver for that bus.
Anyone know where it is? and what it's up to?

Predictable though if they tried lifting it like that.

Good news Demian, is it the one in this thread?

If it is different, then that makes 2 that are being saved? This one is staying in Sweden I think too.
