1955!!!! A Fine Vintage!!!!!!!

[mONKEY BEAST]

here we have a 1955 splitty imported from Holland (Ruby Rouge [muthers choice of name]) two owners from new one being the austrain postal service hence the strange back lights which we think are factory fitted including reversing light there are no semafores and it is a very tidy job.
The second owner bought it in 1982 did all the welding put in new window rubbers and sprayed it, then had kids and never finished puttin it back together, it has been dry stored for the last 23 years!!!!
there is no rust anywhere!! bless her just needs bolting back together and everything we need to do that(+loads of extras) is all in the back redy to go!!!

Splitty action all over the place!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You've now got the earliest bus in Cornwall

Hi Shaun,
Wow, how cool is that We knew it was early but the earliest in Cornwall?
Yes it did come from Albert - very nice chap.
A chat would be very useful, thanks - Haynes dont seem to do a manual for these
Busy this week but may well be round in shortly.
Cheers,
Don.
