A Hay Carrying Bay!

Starting life as a truck used for carrying hay might seem hard on a bay, but the lack of rain in Greece was great for the panel work.

Daniel Elmer found his single cab pick up early last year, on the internet after a lot of time spent searching. The bus had been imported to the UK in the January of 2018 from sunnier climes, after working hard from brand new in the late summer of 1973, until it was laid up in a barn in the mid nineties.

“It was Okay” says Daniel very positively. “I loved it from the word go, and could see the potential in the old girl, to make a great truck for work. At the time, I was slowly destroying my ‘76 bus - the family’s campervan - I thought that a single cab pick up would make a lot more sense to use as my daily. After all, that’s what it was designed for! The pick up was in remarkable condition. All of the external panel work and a lot of the paint is still original, together with the wheels and the suspension. I’ve even left the ride height as Wolfsburg intended”.
