This is a somewhat rare combination. It has the Pop Top with 2 berth bed upstairs with great canvas and still has all of the seats with factory seat belts for 7. The Champagne equipment is all present, the Brown Steering wheel, Brown Dash along with the brown seats and door cards and 2 of the 4 brown wheels along with the Chrome bumpers. I put about 3000 miles on it and parked it. It's a Washington bus so every rock chip has surface rust. No through rust just anywhere a chip was has pealed the paint back and started to rust. I'm going to sand to bare metal and prime and spot paint the affected areas.
The 2.0 engine with FI ran well when I parked it but I'd clean the tank and probably change all of the fuel lines. The 6 rib trans shifted well and didn't pop out of gear, the Power assisted brakes worked great. This bus has a Factory Petrol BA6 heater with the timer and a spare which I bought. It is about 80% OG paint with some touch ups around the bus. I will get interior pictures on Wednesday.

Price is all in including shipping, VAT, duties and customs clearance. I was going to repaint this Bus and put it up for summer but I have a container ready to ship so will sell this cheap.
Plan on installing a new Windscreen as the one in it is Cracked,
replacing the Soft brake pipes and Fuel lines and I'd put rings in the engine, It's been sitting a few years.

Really like this Britt. Loving the colour scheme and a rather like the stone chipped front.
Shouldn't hang around too long at that price. Looking forward to the interior pics.
