1966 Type 23 Kombi

The fire Bus is a Type 23 Kombi. Original registration F-VW 235, manufactured in June 1966. The van has a full service history, incredibly low, provable mileage and drives like a new Bus. Just look at those straight sides! It has a 1500cc single port engine (the original, with 59,000km - that's about 36,500 miles). Not bad for a 39 year old Bus. It wears its original paint of fire brigade red, with the wheels and bumpers in black. It has still got the sign writing and crests of KLEIN-WELZHEIM on the cab doors. The Bus was decommissioned from its long life in the West German Fire Service at Klein Welzheim on the 5th of January1988. It then spent 10 years in Germany with a collector before arriving in the UK in 1998.
