Hi Simon!
I wish you were around when we found out about them.
He got heaps of phone calls and then said he got rid of them or someone took the lot...
Try and give him a call and see what he says.....

Ok  there are six of the vans left  and the guy wants them gone this week.

$300A VAN WITH ALL CONTENTS IN THE BACK......
 The vans are rusty but when i looked the vans were full of parts ....

Is there anyone with land that could take them?

Does anyone have connections in the TV world,they could get Supercheap Auto to sponsor a "my kitchen rules" type show where petrol heads get to rebuild Beedies in teams and then they're auctioned off like in the Block.This will give out beloved Busses a new lease on life,.the program could be kicked off with this flock of unwanted rust buckets,
I see a ratings buster here.

Someone must be able to take them, even if they just stripped them and dumped the bodies (would be better to rebuild them though).
Even if said person sold all the parts and made some dollars at least the parts would remain out there
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

The story goes like this. ....
This old guy had a huge collection and didn't want to sell  much....
Somethings happen and the landlord was left with around 14 vans , some campers as well.
He has been trying to sell them off..the savable ones did go....and then he got annoyed in answering all the phone calls.
Now there are v only six rust buckets left...so way beyond saving im gathering. ..but yes they are worth stripping and saving the parts.
I dont have the room to store parts, we live in suburbia and my shed is chock a block already.
Im happy to help with $$ and time stripping them....if we pool our resources things can happen.....

They have been moved from when we first looked last year. ..
The back of some vans were full to the brim in boxes of parts.....
