....sitting inconspicuously under a tree behind a shed. The question is what is in the shed. No one was home when I knocked on the door. I will try again.

Oh bloody hell the piccie didn't attach. I will have to work this out.

Anyhow, it is a late fifties split behind a shed under a tree in SA. Very ratty, but restorable.

Putting the ratty paint to one side, up close the bus looks fairly straight. Usual rust issues in the nose and the sills. I suspect there maybe issues with the cross members as it is sitting pretty low to the ground. I think the roof was ok.

It looks like it has been pillaged for parts, no headlights, tail lights, original seats missing, no engine, no wheels or bumpers.

I will attempt to get in touch with the owner of the property in the next few weeks and see whether they are willing to offload it. I am curious to know whether or not they have a better one in the shed. You never know.

Go and get it.
Another one in S.A...does 57 kombi know of this one?

57 Kombi probably doesn't know about it. It is in a pretty obscure spot.

I have sent a friend out there to try and do a deal with the owner. He has the time I don't, plus he lives nearby.
