The orange 21 window for sale in the classifieds says that it has never been painted, or welded, but I didn't think that Pumpkin Orange was an original color for a spilt window. Maybe just one of those crazy British options like that right hand drive bs. |

That is the original paint on the Bus. It was used at an airport and they painted it Signal Orange to keep it highly visible. I think it might have been running around down by the planes near the runways and it was probably just for safety reasons. |

That's original, all right. This bus is famous, and was featured in David Eccles' (sp?) book about Transporters. As I remember it, the bus spent most of its years after being built as an airport service vehicle of some sort (in Sweden? I forget) - that's why the miles are so low. The color is original - apparently, VW had colors that were available for those year that were reserved for ambulances and other types of service vehicles. I think there's a picture of the M Code plate if you're that curious. |
