hi i know your bus ,i built it for a guy in sydney..its a 64 lotus white over torquise . It origanlly came from Goulbourn a friend of mine was a police driving instructor at the police academy..it sat in my back yard for several years in the early 90's. A Once friend bought it off me for $900 I then proceeded to restore the old bus....cool top painted the car and the engine at that time was a strong 1600 12v..the seats were trimmed with a paisley. WCM rubbers were used and the once friend borrowed a mint center floor mat out of my 23 window......less than 12months later i here the bus was sold along with my floor mat..... anyway no use crying over spilt milk...if you want any more info just u2u i think I may have a few photos of the bus at different stages.cheers dsk member stephen...the name morrison eg VAN morrison...it was the van..we did have some great cruises..

That is awesome mate i would really love to see some old photos of our Morrison ;) the mat you mention is still in him lol (sorry) we had the seats Reupholstered and he is now IRS'd as well with dropped spindles on the front and Disc Brakes he also has a full length roof rack

When we bought him the body work was and still is in good condition but mechanically it was a bit knackered

Morrison is used almost every weekend and does approx 3000 miles a year as we run a VW club

Forgot to say the Bearings went in the Engine so he now has a Reconditioned 1600 ;)

I was told he was used in an advert for the T4 don't know if that is true supposed to have been shown in Australia and parts of Ireland
