Info
What I know of this bus is as follows:
This 11 window Kombi is a 1962 CKD build bus out of Australia. It was originally white over blue.
The bus was imported to the UK in 2006 by a man called Micheal. He paid a London based restoration company the grand sum of £16,000 to restore and repaint the bus.
He emailed the Gulf Oil company to ask permission to use their colours on his bus. They replied to him the RAL numbers and so he proceeded with the colour change.
He sold the bus to a girl called Penny in 2017 and she owned and loved the bus until my wife and I bought it from her in 2025, Penny named the bus “Dory”.
We put Dory through the VRT process in Ireland and got her on a Wicklow reg plate.
Please don’t be shy and be sure to wave at us as you see drive by!
