 Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2011 8:21 am Post subject: Interior layout question on an impounded bus... (pics) |
 |
|
71 Westy in the impound yard has this layout:
(sorry, no better pics)
Solid glass on one side:
Tall cabinet & Sink:
Seat on the wall:
Full size bed:
I've never seen this lay out in a westfalia camper, and I cannot get photos of the M Code plate at this time.
Ideas? What would its designation be? (S0-??)

Is there any chance you can get that bus?

Why?

Isn't that a not-often-in-america German Westy camper layout?

It is indeed a not-often-in-America German Westy interior, but not a DIY job.
My bus originally came from a dealership in Madrid, and I have that interior as well.
Rare stateside for sure.
I also had that same pane of glass on the driver side middle window, but replaced it with a 2nd jalousie.

Thank you.
It's really too bad a PO put those holes in a rare cabinet layout, so I had to put them to use.

Did you happen to flip down that big door on the front closet to see if there was a stove Kirk?
It's either a Madrid or a Houston.

Looks to be a "Houston" with a full width bench and lack of cabinet behind the slider.'
Mine is a SO 72/6, but has the cabinet next to the bench. Appears to be a match with "Madrid"

Either an SO-72/3 "Helsinki" or SO-72/4 was the us spec called "Houston":
though this guy (username: SO72/4) says his 72/4 was a german market vehicle...

Thats a neat resource Busdaddy,
Its not a Madrid though, b/c it has the full width bed.
After searching that website, it is either a Houston or Helsinki, depending on if the tall cabinet has the stove or not.

I do not think that cabinet contains a stove. I think its just shelves, but I can't remember for sure. Honestly, I kinda like it, but I like oddities. 
If the weather clears Ill pull the junk out. And take more pics if you are interested in it. Hes not flawless, but hes mostly rust free.

Admittedly, I have a problem. However, its future was not bright. I felt it necessary to intervene.

You're in the right place. Though I have to say I'm really disappointed that you didn't start the thread with a hilariously well written story of how you acquired it .
