This is the best you will see in a long, long time.

Kombi on eBay! (Click here here.)

This has been on eBay two times over the past month, but always as a "coming soon" auction. Maximum bids from memory were under $8K.

(I am not the seller.)nn[ Edited on 9/7/2005 by Sulla ]

Byronbus

Thanks for the numbers...will give them a go tomorrow.
Got lost with that search though...can you instruct the IT illiterate ? or supply a link ?

Thanks
Greg

How soon do you want one?
Ours will be up eventually.
How good does it have to be?
It's not perfect but is all original interior 1976,2L.
On the Sunshine Coast.


Greg_Clayton - July 12th, 2005 at 10:18 PM

Frog,

Just been emailed some pictures from Steve in Sydney, really nice 72 bay, spotless interior...very impressive...will take the earlier advice and take a little time.

I am interested in original fittings ...good condition I guess with no surprises. Can you provide further detail:

engine ? recon ?
km's ?
when available ?
condition inside and out ?
$$$ ?
etc...

Thanks for the mail, sunshine coast is not a problem, up there from time to time.

Thanks
Greg

It had 150k on the clock when we got it and it had a dead valve seat on one head so put 2 reco heads and new rings and done 45k since.
The exterior paint is thin and a few dents from pevious owner(1)and the interior is original but not perfect but all there.
When I'm not sure exactly but in the next few months she will be ready to sell that is why I asked if you were in a hurry or not.
Take your time looking,we took 8 months to find this one.


Greg_Clayton - July 27th, 2005 at 07:13 PM

Hey
I think I have found one but thought I might give one last shout out to see if there are anymore out there...before I buy.
Mark II Bay 8/9 seater bus...very good condition inside and out...let me know if there are any more...
Thanks

Patience is good and the right one will come along


Greg_Clayton - September 6th, 2005 at 06:39 PM

Just got back to Brizzie from Byron Bay in my 9 seater microbus bay deluxe...loved every minute...will detail and publish a picture or two...I am a happy, happy man !

Big thanks to Mr Muller and Byron Bus (and all others) who helped me to this point...


byronbus - September 7th, 2005 at 10:04 AM

Glad you smiling dude, that is a very sweet bus, not to mention its TV debut....what were those papers in the glove box?


Fossil - September 7th, 2005 at 04:50 PM

Can't wait for the pics - well done


Greg_Clayton - September 7th, 2005 at 09:32 PM

Original script from Home and Away in the glove box ! The 'as seen on TV' bus...Dr Flynn's no less...still it won't be on much longer as the bus now lives in sunny Queensland !

Hey Byronbus...got pulled by the NSW cops on the way home too...good job I had the permit to move...thanks again.


byronbus - September 7th, 2005 at 09:52 PM

No way...where abouts?

Glad you like it mate...post a copy of the home and away script...not many people can boast such an original bus, good work


Greg_Clayton - September 9th, 2005 at 06:54 PM

Still detailing and awaiting new plates...


frog - September 9th, 2005 at 09:54 PM

I did watch homes and aways a few years back....
And are we talking about the old long hair Flynnster yeah the cool one and not the new dr Who clone..........
I hate it when they replace characters with other people unless they are twice as good.......if not , let then have an accident or go overseas or die in a storm\flood\fire\boatsinking\jail\movie career and other numerous ploys to get off a show.
Sorry....had a few beers too many and have lost it, but can still type and spell.
Oh yeah back to the point......nice early bay deluxey.


byronbus - September 12th, 2005 at 07:42 PM

I dont watch home and away, but your bus was on it tonight


byronbus - September 13th, 2005 at 07:31 PM

On again tonight...so im told


byronbus - September 13th, 2005 at 07:31 PM

And i think the script that was in it was from tonight...


Greg_Clayton - September 13th, 2005 at 07:54 PM

Was too...on TV that is...not sure on the script Byronbus, it's some camping trip...but hey...Sal & Leah have been in the back of my bus and it makes me a happy man !

Not that I watch it though you understand...


slowbay70 - September 13th, 2005 at 08:14 PM

my 8 seater bus the same original colour of yours was owned by a cast member of that show, yours looks in a bit better condition that mine before i fixed her up. what year is yours?
