"An exciting build where a creative owner constructed the bus based on their own ideas and needs. With a deep passion for motorsports, the entire bus serves as a kind of homage to that interest."

Description

The bus was delivered to Halmstad municipality in March 1990 and served as a book bus until 2008, when it was purchased by the current owner, now represented by an estate. At the time of purchase, it had driven just over 330,000 kilometers, which is a relatively low mileage in bus terms, but quite typical for a municipal book bus that didn’t cover long distances in its duties. The owner spent five years rebuilding the bus, and the transformation was comprehensive, to say the least.

One of the family’s sons competed in karting, leading to trips across the continent and the Nordic countries for both competitions and holidays. On one occasion, they spent a full eight weeks on the road in the bus, though they were out nearly every summer.

Today, the bus is being sold by the estate of the owner/builder, and because of this, many questions about the bus can’t be answered precisely. The owner was a meticulous man with an eye for detail and a love of bright colors. A new owner will need to familiarize themselves with the bus’s features and solutions independently.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    To the extent that we were able to test drive it, the engine, transmission, and brakes all function well. The most recent approved inspection and brake check were also completed on 2024-07-19. Before that re-inspection, a review was carried out, and some noted issues were addressed by a reputable workshop in Halmstad. The bus has a couple of different electrical systems, and according to reports, everything is in working order.

    We have not tested the stove, microwave, shower, sauna, or other facilities, so the winning bidder will need to inspect all functions before finalizing the purchase. The fridge/freezer has been removed, as it was no longer functional, so a new unit will need to be installed.

  • Interior condition:

    Colorful, well-thought-out, and carefully executed motorhome interior with smart solutions and surprising features, such as a compact sauna. Sleeping bunks for four people, and a separate toilet apart from the shower. The rear luggage compartment can hold, for example, one or two karting chassis, a couple of vintage scooters, some mountain bikes, or a motorcycle. Alternatively, it can be used for plenty of chairs, tables, and other camping gear.

  • Exterior condition:

    A beautiful red paint job with decals referencing racing and Ferrari cars. During a trip to Italy, the family was even escorted out of a narrow town by the police, who believed the bus was part of Ferrari’s F1 team. Alloy wheels, a large awning, and a generally well-kept exterior contribute to a positive overall impression.

  • General condition:

    It is evident that the bus has been stored indoors when not in use. The finish is fresh and doesn’t have the wear of a vehicle that has endured winters outdoors. For those involved in motorsport at various levels and disciplines, this is an extremely practical and useful bus, especially considering its relatively compact size. A vehicle like this thrives best when stored in dry and warm conditions, which cannot be emphasized enough. However, this is also a logistical challenge for many prospective buyers.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
