Oops yes I meant Mo and I not Bobby and yes I know exactly who did the work, just mistyped the Mo part. Grand Slam does excellent work, and they were very quick to reply when I asked about refurbing type 3 carbs....dutch you are 100 percent correct when you talk about finding a decent mechanic and keeping him...I have found one such Mech in Pta and whatever he asks, I pay because I know that he won't stuff me around :D

How many you want? Bus or girls? I took a few at the shoot myself. These 2 were the only ones from the magazine published in Germany.

Ok cool, I see now. 614B and not 6148 as I first saw it.


Dutch, but then something is wrong. Doesn't "B" = '62

As the letters started with "A" in '61

Letters started on 1st Jan 1963 with "A"....Bobbie is "A" and Mo is "B". It was only when I got the birth certificate did I find out that the bus was a 1964 not 65 as originally thought....well Nov 1964 born but that make her a VW 65 model but according to UK licencing it's a 64 :?
