Meet Pattie the Tramp... Pea for short 😘

That's right, it came with the larger engine bay. Loved my 72 with type 4 motor.

Lads Pattie's engine is standard 1600 but with twin Dellorto carbs. From all accounts she goes nice...I pick her up end of next week... so i'll wait & see. Nothing like a road trip to get friendly.

Few more pics.

no pink darling.. are you sure it's yours?

Love the 'fat biscuit' double stitched upholstery with colour matched piping. Really suits the bus well & steering wheel too. Beautiful.

Awesome bus Shaven.

Cant beat a dirty green lowie with a few shiny bits.

Looks like it was a pop-top camper at one stage and after they realised that rust was eating it away from under the pop-top they decided to ditch the pop top, fixed the rust and installed the Paris Beetles roof?

Anyway - it makes for a very good hot weather bus....

matberry · 30 Mar 2015, 12:25 pm

Great looking bus 👍 👍

Cheers Scotty,
Yeah had a pop top on it. Installed the slider ;o)
Was a panel. It was built as part of a TV show last year I believe. There was a lot of $$$ spent on it. Most of the bus is original paint. All the repairs have been blown in to match. Now has 3 layers of lacquer to protect that beautiful patina.

Thanks Matty... saw it, loved it, bought it. Can not wait to get it home to add some personal touches.

I'm sure I've seen it before somewhere , Valla ?, loved it then, wherever it was. Great looking bus. 😵‍💫

XXX-1.8T · 31 Mar 2015, 12:38 pm

Mate really unsure. It was done last year as part of a TV rest show... then final touches done over time I believe... I'll find out more when I pick it up this weekend ;o)

Went for a cruse the other day...

shaven · 17 Apr 2015, 7:53 pm

I remember the old days when someone would say "Matty look at that Rack" ... how times change :fake sniff:

I was going to re-lacquer it but you can not beat the old linseed oil.
