1974 1800 Baywindow

Post by sean »

Here's a bus I don't think i've shared too much about before. Thought I would share it seeing the one that came up for sale today which is pretty much identical to my one.

I've had it for the last 14 years. It's still running its original 1800 type 4 motor and also very original. Its also not 100% perfect, with the odd touch up and rust spot, but otherwise still beautifully original.

Here's a few pics to start with.

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
