Bus
ABOUT
The bus is an imported American Community Bus with a VW t25 welded to the top. The bus and VW have been stripped out and converted into luxury off-grid accommodation. It has been fitted out using local larch and sycamore for carpentry, reclaimed oak strip flooring from a Birmingham school, honed marble tiled wet room, door handles salvaged from the famous Hempel Hotel, salvaged 1950’s bulk head lights from a German cargo ship, reclaimed nickel taps and sink, cupboard doors from the Natural History Museum and a vintage angle poise machinist light. The bus is fully insulated with Therma-Fleece wool and closed cell foam. This combined with the stove and heater, mean that it can be used in comfort all year round.
