Actually, the early bay window buses--68-70--had hub caps like earlier buses and wide five wheels. That bus has flat caps and later rims--71+--that came with front disc brakes. Given the front bumper shape, type of wheels, I'd place that van as a 71 or a 72. However, being it was in Europe, the dating may be off because the bumpers may not have changed in 73 as they did in U.S. models.
By the way, some of you may wish to check the prices being asked for early (
pre-68) buses in
decent condition, not just the Barrett-Jackson anomalies. Right up there with 911's.
And Byron, that looks to be a 66 or 67 deluxe, Titian Red/beige grey. Correct? I currently have the same bus (a 67) in my driveway as my daily driver. Love it to death.
