Features:
The perfect vintage – Split Screen: Like a maturing wine, this 21-window Samba has blossomed into a full bodied beauty. Meet James Harris and his wine bar

Atlan-tick – Type 25: When he grew tired of his Bay Window’s poor fuel economy, Gary Buncombe decided a diesel-powered Type 25 ticked all the right boxes

Tinted love – T5: Built on the drive in the depths of winter, this LWB T5 has won trophies for best T5 at four major shows already! Now that’s an achievement !

Respect – Bay Window: It might look like a big budget build, but this Bay was built and painted at home in a single car garage.

The right stuff – Split Screen: When someone who sells Buses for a living says they have found their perfect Bus, you know it’s going to be something special. Biagio Chrzanowski’s ’63 15-window is definitely that.
