Hopefully we will soon have a new member for the OCD, althought a little younger than the rest of us he does own a beautiful Danbury. If you look closely at the number plate although a P plate at first glance she proudly displays 08......as in 2008. Of course she is a Mexico, but i have driven her and she is very SMOOTH, watercooled polo engine (hence the double spare wheel carriers) factory lowered with empi 5s, chrome bumpers and all the refinement inside as to the standard of all modern Type 5s. Not quite trouble free and still has lots of original querks such as oil mist and wondering around in side winds!! He needs some advice from Gary as to fitting power steering for his wife.
I've heard, although I have no pratical experience having never tied the knot myself, that even with power steering it's still impossible for a man to control his wife... ;)
ReplyDeleteJoking aside, Very nice '08 bus i'd be very interested in a pic of the engine bay! I saw a slightly earlier version (last of the aircooled brazilians) in Leicester the other day, no more than a few years old and guess what, the sills were starting to go!
nice, thought the roof looks like it came of an american westy called a riviera, ley had a west roof rack and that shape top which lifted like a devon. cool all the same though.
ReplyDeleteMexico camper looks california look i like,but yours is best by far.Power steering? is the steering gear same as original? if so then who makes kit? if not new mexico dealers must have the answer.
