Yet another Promotional vehicle addition to compliment Evergreens iconic fleet which includes…
? VW Van ? VW Beetles ? VW Split Screen Camper Van ? VW ‘Shorty’ Camper Van ? Land Yacht Air StreamRead on to find out about the adventure involved in collecting it!
The latest purchase was collected by Peter, one of Evergreens UK brave installers (did I say brave?)…
The race was on to arrive in Helsinki, Finland before the annual heavy snow fall which was un-seasonally late. The journey to collect this rare 1967 21 Window VW Samba Bus started from our Head Office in Oakham, Rutland in late December 2011 using our new VW Transporter Van accompanied with our Vehicle Trailer. Peter travelled through France, Belgium and Germany and arrived at the port of Trabemunde (Germany). A total of 14 hours driving took place prior to a 30 hour ferry ride to Helsinki, where the Bus was previsoulsy owned for a number of years. The bus was soon loaded and a repeat journey took place.
The total journey time was a whacking 88 hours. ”What a great trip, but very tiring!” Peter – Evergreens UK.
The vehicle is now safe and sound back in sunny England where it will live the rest of its days as a promotional bus for the companies leading artificial lawn brand. It will be fully restored and sign written to promote artificial grass and join our collection of VW’s and an Airstream.
