mr whitewalls - 1969 Bay (FOR SALE)

A friend is selling this awesome early baywindow tin top





                                                                Jenson Button loves it!!

1969 OG Microbus (bulk head model). Rat Look and super solid! You'll never have to worry about welding this one. Just ask anyone thats seen it. (Stu and Dru from midland paintworks, leon, ant etc)

Cali Import
4'' narrowed wagonswest beam
wagenswest dropped spindles
slamwerks adj spring plates, down just 2 splines at the back
Uprated brakes to futbus vented discs (great stopping power!)
Mr Whitewalls 1 1/4'' striped tyres on 15'' splitty steels

Running a 1776 engine with twin weber 40 carbs and the few that have driven it know it pulls like a train. It still needs some fine tuning to get it running a little leaner and to its full potential but it will outpull my 07 connect and thats got a 2 litre tdi diesel lump.
Auto meter tacho and oil temp gauge

interior is almost a blank canvas for the new owner to put their stamp on it! I stripped it back, hammerited the floor before sound proofing and putting in a laminate floor (see pictures). Has a full length r n r bed with no foam so as i said you can really make it how you want.

Obviously tax free and the current ticket is untill march next year
Had it mot'd through the chaps at midland paintwerks back in may so plenty life left on that. The Mot guys had positive comments on the strength of the underside and it pretty much flew straight through. (3 minors i think. lack of washer bottle, missing a bolt in the spring plate cover and something else but im struggling to remember so ill check later, but mot'd now anyway)

Im advertising it on here only. In no rush at all to sell her, i just rarely get the time to use her due to other commitments ie work and think its a shame that she sits there with an mot and not being used as often as she could be. Im also moving in september so thats more of a priority for me at the moment. I can afford to keep her but no real point in owning at the moment. maybe in the future when more my more pressing issues are sorted ill buy her back ;-

The bus is a real head turner, for reasons from both ends of the spectrum and it will look strange not seeing it every morning but there will be someone that will use it much more than i can manage to at the moment so come take a look and take it for a spin and see what you think! 

She owes me about £10,500 but im not expecting that for her so inoffensive offers as close as you can will be appreciated.

Thanks Guys,

Chugsy
