5 or 6 i believe.

I had one until a year or so. There was a chap on here that had two of them i think, plus my old blue one. As i say i was told 5 or 6 in the UK, but i think that number was also how many there are total! could be wrong but that is what i recall.

I have tried to post pictures on here but can't seem to make them small enough, or maybe i am rubish with computers!!!!!
So far then its less than ten including mine. The SH one won the best vicky farm i think, he had done a really nice job on it! it was a rainy weekend for mine to come out and play.

Who owned the trick seat belt one....
On first observations it was standard but the fact the belts were in the wheel well was AMAZING....

I converted mine to Euro spec when I restored it. I still have the boxes that were riveted to the gates.

Really nice job you've done Dc67, i wouldn't take it out if mine was that nice!
I bought mine off a bloke with 2 south african buses, the other was a 1958 11window thoough.

DC67...My son and I looked all over your DC at SH...and it is very well executed.. I was so hoping you would be around and emerge to talk to!
I had fun fitting seat belts into my 64 Devon Caravette and so I looked to see your runs and then was amazed..
I had the added complication of having a Devon water tank spout in the way and would have been able to get the runs using your solution....
Presumably they sit in fully sealed electrical style switch boxes but it was the lovely smoothly executed louvres from which the belts emerged and how the seat belt was mounted to the body I wanted to know..

Otherwise the DC was stunning...very very nice...where did you buy your interior panels from...
Dave is sourcing athe moment..
