That applies to ALL buses!

I must say I also yearn after a late-model, low-mileage Autovilla with the cab extension.

Van den Brink had one a couple of years ago that came with a Jurgens accessory trailer containing additional camping gear. Unfortunately he sold the Autovilla separately, ditched the camping kit, and used the trailer for his own purposes. :roll:

Last year, en route to a fishing trip near Loskop side, we took a wrong turnoff and ended up at a farm with some old cars, amongsyt them was an Autovilla in excellent condition.It was wearing a set of MUSTANG wheelcaps, I made an offer on the caps but was sadly rejected..Oh yes, and that Autovilla didn't have an engine either

This is 1975 conversion, on a 1972 VW 16/1700 Type 2 panel van, with 1976~79 VW 2000 Type 2 engine, which is reckoned to probably be, the only surviving example.
