I'm absolutely gutted to be offering this very rare bus for sale, as I'd been trying to buy it for about 6 years and would love to fully restore it, which I could offer the buyer if required. According to David Eccles book, only 123 of these Australia only Box delivery/Container vans were produced, its believed only 17 are left worldwide and only 4 in the UK. One was previously used to sell Mexican food called Chilli Gone Barmy and another used as a Coffee van at events called Camper Coffee Co, mine and the other one in the country being unrestored. They are perfect for so many uses but it has to be said make a brilliant catering vehicles, be it a vintage ice cream van, a Pimms bus for weddings or corporate events, the possibilities are endless.
Ours was built in 1963 and being from Australia it benefits from being RHD, the cab is in very good solid condition. The box is in need of restoration , but the construction, is quite possibly the simplest of any vehicle I've ever seen, its made from inch box section steel framework with flat sheet steel panels riveted into place. Much of it is still very good with work needed lower down as you can see in the pictures and the roof. All the running gear is still present with a rebuilt 1500 engine included , which isn't original to the bus, yet period correct.
These buses rarely come onto the market, the last one sold with 24 hours, ours is priced exactly the same at 19,500 ovno.
You can reach me on 07972055868, thank you Bob. Advertising first here to hopefully see it stay in the UK.
