Have a look on Gumtree and Junkmail, now and again bargains come up. As it is, not much is offered on this site anymore...

To the OP, there are a LOT more SA buses for sale in the UK than in SA.

While there are still some gems out there, most of the good cars in SA are in the hands of collectors and it's only projects in varying conditions that hit the open market, and the condition of what's for sale gets worse every year. Also, the prices of the really good cars have now reached parity with the UK, so you're unlikely to get much of a bargain.

If you're thinking of buying a SA bus from the UK I think you're very likely to be disappointed. No matter how many pics you see, the car will always be worse in the metal. If you really want to buy a SA bus, I suggest you come to SA for six months and spend time seeing all prospects in person. If you can't do that, then rather buy from the many exporters who specialise in taking our cars and selling them in the UK.

Big b, what are you looking for in particular? There is lots of stock around on this site, just not in the give-away section.
