Satisfying my bay curiosity

[fig]

Most of you know that my ACVW focus is split buses, but I crossed over into bay territory a couple of years ago with Skilpad, our 69 Westfalia. I had absolutely no intention of buying Skilpad when it was offered to us by a friend, but mrsfig insisted we buy it and who am I to argue when my wife wants me to buy another bus!



In any case, Skilpad was not for my collection; we bought her to leave in Cape Town so we would always have transport and a place to stay there. Unfortunately the Cape winters were wrecking Skilpad so we brought her home to the dryveld.

But it didn't end with Skilpad! Over the past two months I have bought, not one, but TWO more baywindow buses!

Here's a low mileage 71 single cab I bought from Bratjie (Thanks Bratjie!):






Then last week I picked up this 74 Autovilla (also on mrsfig's instruction!):
