Great video, thank you for sharing it. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this bus in depth in person on several occasions. It’s an absolutely incredible example and I’m really glad that it is being used and enjoyed.

I'd trade my 1961 double-cab AND my 1961 double-door panel bus for this bus. Amazing vehicle.

[@dudopower8556]

Awsome😍

[@krustrepair]

amazing! Why no safaris? Did sambas not have them that early? Great videos as well. No thrills just the car in all its beauty!

[@Nichemotors]

I’m not exactly sure when Safaris became a viable but I believe it was after this bus was built. I have never seen a a BD23 with Safaris

[@photohum]

There are barndoors with safaris but in general they were optional and usually on buses going to really hot climates. Barndoor specific safaris can be installed, but on something like this is usually better to leave things original imo.
