1959 11 window bus

It's not something I want to sell really as I searched for the best early bus I could find in my budget and due to finding there's no OG mango green paint under the White I think it would suit someone who's interested is a fresh paint resto or is happy with blending the repairs in to the awesome patina that you see now.

It's a 1/10/59 German built bus with 6 opening windows from California.
Mango green/seagull grey from new (mango underneath bus and inside still)
All doors and panels are original to the bus and has never been welded before.
It's got all its sigla glass apart from the front door glass
All handles there apart from the tail gate T handle
it's got is Original rear glass hella lenses fitted (cracked)
Original front badge
Front Original bumper
Rear bumper with the van but not original to the bus
Bullet nose front end
High Hinge cargo doors
Rear 15" crows feet wheels (original to the bus)
Front 14" bay steels
Awesome original clock with clear needle
Uncut dash

The bus over all is great and one of the best I saw for the year condition wise.
front panel doesn't need touching at all.
it will need welding as they all do but not a huge project and not the normal lower 6" of the bus.
I can give you a rough idea of what needs doing but is only a guide.

Roof edge repair over the cargo doors.
cab floor.
Cargo floor edge repair
Inner and outer sill repair (cargo door side)
1x jack point
1x rigger
Long sill patch repairs (great mettle still left on that side)
both bottoms of the front dog legs
Front door repairs
1x inner frame bottom on 1 cargo door
Inner front panel patch repairs
Rear arch infill panels (cut out a little to clear the wide wheels)


That's the main bulk of the work so over all it's really not a bad bus and is very straight for an early bus.

The bus is in Shropshire and can be viewed when ever suits

I'm pricing it at £9000 and I think that's fair for such a great bus.

Such a cool bus! Free bump if only had the cash

Thank you Boston_samba I'm really thinking of keeping it seeing as it's not a huge project compared to most.

Is there no og paint under it then looks to be some in the pictures

Well I thought it was before I bought it as I cleaned the white off a little but now It's mine it seams to be a green primer as there's nothing underneath it.

I mite do the steel work,slam it and roll as it is

Still may swap for the right early bus. Window or panel.

Now on eBay with more info and pics.
