so, on arrival inthe UK

looked a little different, a shonky paint job had been put on at some point resulting in...

Despatched in April `63 to Northern Sweden, a Grey left hand drive kombi with left hand cargo doors was delivered to Sveriges Geologiska Undersokning (SGU) apologies for lack of accents over any letters, not found them on my computer, SGU apparently is a government department for geological examination. It was registered AC1963, meaning it was in Vasterbotten County, in 1970 it was sold to a private individual who used it until it was abandoned in a forest in 1973, circa 2003 it arrived in the UK, Where Boatyard Buses got it back to life, and its og colour thankfully!

Thank you, and yes, they do!

A few more from arrival in the UK, pre welding.

Spooky!
