Re: silver dream machine !
Nice bus almost no rust.
I know that bus well, It was almost mine about 4-5 years ago, but the old man that owned it, from Primrose, landed up selling it to someone in his church after my offer was beterd (so I was told)
What I can tell you at that stage the singleport motor had just been rebuilt and he reversed the bus door into the edge of his garage pillar and removed the it to carry out repairs himself.

For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......

Re: silver dream machine !
Thanks guys ! 
it took from the 1st of Aprill till the 21st to negotiate and finally get her here......tested my patience a lot ! (Fig knows)
but paid off in the end..just sorting some small papers issues and bob's your uncle !
the back seems to have been converted to a camper years ago....looks like an original job too..complete with the small round fitting on the floor for what i presume must be a table ? ....i will post some more pic's soon.
