The Little Red Bus

Meet our 1971 Volkswagen Bus we affectionately call “Rory”, chauffeur driven by Adrian, owner and lover of all things mechanical. Rory, also doubles up as a unique photo booth for your entertainment - Covering Devon, Cornwall, Somerset & Dorset.... and occasionally Nottinghamshire (as I cant leave my roots!) Rory started life as an East German fire crew bus before working his way over to Poland at some point in the late 80s/90s. After years of working on various old VW’s we imported ...Rory in 2008, with no interior and a more than slightly suspect engine, we set to work getting him up and running for a European road trip the following summer. The trip was a success (apart from a few little issues) and we enjoyed many a trip out in him over the following years, including using him for our own wedding in 2010. By 2012 he was starting to show his age after many days down on the beach so we took him off the road. As with most of these stories, what we thought would be a few small jobs... turned into a full restoration and with the exception of the paintwork and seat trimming all of the work has been carried out by Adrian your chauffeur and booth host! Rory is also now sporting a Subaru engine for a little added reliability and comfort. We thought he was too special to keep to ourselves.
