1962 Samba, Linda Lee

MrPolak · Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2015 2:22 pm Post subject: 1962 Samba, Linda Lee

This thread is about Linda Lee, a Dutch 1962 Samba. My friend Pete purchased it in 01/29/1996, enjoyed it, and stored it until he was in the position to start the restoration process.

We will update this thread accordingly.

Here's the bus the day we disassembled it in 2004. It featured lots of interesting riveted repairs and typical "euro-rust" patters from years of driving on snowy roads.
