This incredible O 319 bus has been fully restored, while being both extensively and subtly modified into a camper. Its prior owner, an eccentric computer engineer, used his extensive skills to painstakingly restore and upgrade this unique vehicle over a 15-year period. The exterior boasts exceptionally straight panels and paintwork in factory colors done to a very high standard. Underneath is a modern air-ride suspension system adapted to the standard factory dual rear-wheel setup. Workmanship is meticulous with precise plumbing and expert electricals designed to handle the demands of modern accessories. Details include a centralized circuit-breaker panel and lighting for every cubby and compartment upon opening. Propane and water tanks are installed underneath the body and cleverly integrated along frame rails. Inside, one will find modern leather seats up front and a comfortable rear berth. A custom-made cabinet houses the sink, stove, and provides storage. Dual audio systems are integrated front and rear and housed within custom-made cabinetry. A cleverly stowed solar panel is fitted for those treks “off the grid.” A modern, fuel-injected Mercedes-Benz gasoline engine and automatic transmission with Gear Vendor overdrive and oil cooler provides power. An array of re-mapped chips is included, presumably to accommodate all kinds of driving conditions. Clever details abound in this unique vehicle, thoroughly sorted and ready for one’s next adventure. |

Hi Guys, Saw this MB Van parked in Marol military road. The car looked like it was with a scrap dealer (with some shops around that place). Could not find anyone to speak about it, clicked some pics though.:D Mods pls move this if this is not the right place. Cheers, slicks |

Sad end for a lovely bus which was lying in a Garage in Khar. I think this is ex-Air India. It was complete, hope she is not being junked. |

You're right Harit. The Merecedes bus/van was lying at Khar a couple of years ago and was in complete shape then. It used to be green / black in color. I too hope it does not get scrapped. I used to always wonder why this van has 4 wheels at the rear (like a bus). |
