Bullshit......thats the autovilla holy grail.

Are you the new owner?

I was under the impression it was lost forever. If you own it, I would love to see it in person

I am not the new owner. I only put the two parties in touch with each other. If the forum member wishes to reveal himself so be it :twisted:

Yes, I'm in the process of buying this baby.

She's deteriorated a lot since those pics were taken and I really don't know what I'm going to do with her, but she was one step away from disappearing forever and needed to be rescued and mrsfig said I have to do it, so who am I to disobey? 8)

I'm picking her up next week. I'll post pics of the recovery. :hangloose:

Meanwhile, I want to find out as much as I can about this bus. If anyone knows anything at all about its provenance, please let me know.

Also, some time back someone posted a letter to one of the caravan magazines which had a current pic of this bus with a period pic taken when it was quite new. I can't find that post again. Can the OP send me a scan of that letter? Or can anyone else find that post?

Is it definitely a Jurgens?

The camper sections looks very much like a 60's Gypsy caravan.

Awesome piece of history saved here. :hangloose:
