Vintage camper from 1961 FBW Samba - Bus

A unique opportunity to buy a unique Samba bus with manual
doors, countless windows
( 39 windows plus 12 sliding windows)
and a fabulous "shark" - design to acquire.
Licensed as a motorhome with H license plate. Power steering? Of course.
To be sold is this in every respect unique camper from 1961.
It is a genuine Swiss vehicle from FBW

This bus was built especially for the alpine pass tour and is therefore very narrow and has the steering wheel on the right side, so that the driver always has the abyss directly in view.

The driver - and passenger windows can be opened by crank as in a passenger car. Also otherwise you can open all around the 12 sliding windows for always good ventilation and draught.
It also has 2 large roof hatches and an extremely powerful fresh air fan in the front.

The front windows are tinted glass to block out sunlight for the driver and passengers.
The upper windows are also tinted. Overall, the " Samba" - bus with its countless windows can be seen in comparison with the cult VW Bus T1 Samba and can easily compete with him.
Especially I things quality and price.

The overall condition of the motorhome is quite excellent and the mileage of 593,000 km is for this bus with 11 liters of displacement and mid-engine purely nothing.

The FBW has 60 years of maintenance and care in Switzerland, which is something to be proud of.

The FBW Club in Switzerland has a huge stock of spare parts just in case, and the club's goal is to see all FBW vehicles on the road for a very long time to come.

There is a highly interesting film on youtube under:
" The Postbus - Documentary from NZZ "

The camper is now definitely equipped for the next 60 years and for the next 500,000 km mileage.

To the vehicle belongs the complete gapless documentation from the handwritten data sheet over all technical manuals with maintenance notes up to books about Swiss Postbuses, in which this bus is of course listed and described.

Even the cost breakdown for the 1961 bus is available:
The bus cost a whole 172,635 Swiss francs in 1961

The unique Swiss underfloor engine and the semi-automatic torque converter transmission were built into very many FBW buses and have absolutely proven themselves - until today !
The nice little camping bus is shifted completely without clutch. There is and is no need for a clutch.

So the driver can always operate the air horn with his left foot without interruption, or turn the lights up and down.
Power steering? Of course. It's child's play to steer.

While the transmission and engine have been built into countless FBW vehicles, this bus exists in exactly this form and design only once:

This bus is "The crowning glory of shark design" - a unique specimen !
Tires: 6 x Michelin 12 R 225 as good as new
The Büssle is licensed as a motorhome with H license plate for 7 people.
It has 2 large double beds and thus 4 -6 sleeping places.

The entire camping equipment is extremely robust and high quality and technically almost up to date.

The camper is registered and ready to travel; get in and go - provided that the driver has a license for vehicles over 7.5 tons.
Do you still need the suitable small escort vehicle with trailer to the camper? I can offer you my Fiat 500 Jolly Cabriolet with trailer for a reduced price. Or, if you need more sleeping places
need: For only € 5000 extra charge you get a matching vintage caravan to go with it, with which you can attract even more attention. To choose from: Otten from 1974, WA-WA from 1969 or Pfefferkorn from 1955.
