Robs crazy ass Barndoor rescue mission 2 !!!
by lowdown dirty rat » Mon Feb 17, 2014 11:18 am
It's been a long time since I went on my last 4000 mile rescue trip to collect my 52 samba (
https://archives.ssvc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=42329&hilit=52+samba) and I didn't intend on doing another one. But I must confess that my eye has been drawn to another beauty.
So after another crazy (and it was bonkers!) 4000 mile road trip I now have another Barndoor parked up in my garage.
Now I know you are all wondering what it is, and I could just tell you. But instead I'm going to be really annoying and get you to play guess the Bus.
I'll drop a few clues over the next few days and we'll see how good your guessing is.
So clue number one.
It's a REALLY rare bus!!!
How rare? Well they didn't have one at the OCTO 2012 Barndoor gathering in Cali. In fact there isn't one in the States at all. And there has NEVER been one in the UK before.
Get guessing

It's not the Kohlruss, not a 15w deluxe, not the earliest rhd bus known, not a smoothgate.
Sales flap bus maybe? or a BD Kemp? Or quite possibly Sir Alan's correct?
You could just let us know ?

Okay, so by a process of elimination, its not a....
50 kombi
50 standard
50 panel
51 panel
51 deluxe
51 standard/kombi
BD 15
BD 23
Smoothgate
52 dlx/standard/kombi
Walkthrough
Kohlruss
maybe a sales flap then! Unless this is a red herring and you've bought a volvo

agreed. Must be something coachbuilt?
It's not one of those '67 buses with the Barndoors in the side is it Rob? My neighbours father used to have one. A '73 it was apparently. Went everywhere in it. What colour are you going to paint yours when you do it up? It's a huge project. Are they normally that low? They're worth a lot of money now aren't they? How much is it worth .....................................................
