Background

I have owned this bus since 1995 and have slowly rebuilt it as a mobile home.

With the help of Rudi Van Dn Ende in Antwerp Belgium, I have replaced the engine, rebuilt the gear box and differential.  The interior has been refitted so that I an my daughter can live in it while we search for an affordable apartment.

Since the engine was replaced and the vehicle made roadworthy in 2009 it has been driven very little.  It has only clocked a total of 3000 km since the new engine was installed.
