This is probably only of real interest to Australian residents on the
list.

There is a 1982-model "C" chassis VW Type 256 Bus (Vanagon) for sale.
It was sold new during 1983 after sitting in the VW dealer's yard in
Townsville for about a year.  I arranged its eventual sale to a friend
on the Gold Coast where it has lived ever since.

Exterior colour is two-tone "ivory" over "bamboo yellow".  It is an
8-seater (2+3+3) with "gazelle" leatherette upholstery. With only
130,000km (80,000 miles) on the clock and always parked indoors, it has
been cosseted all its life and is in original totally rust-free perfect
pristine condition.  It still has the original shipping wax underneath.
The engine is a CV series 2.0 litre air-cooled with Bosch AFC fuel
injection.  It has been removed only once to replace the clutch plate
just recently.

This car is for sale because the owner has died.  I would like to see it
go to a good home because it is so nice and I know its history.  If I
had the spare money I would buy it.  I have no financial interest in its
sale.  It is a real gem.  It would sell for less than AU$6000 (or less
than US$3250).
