Very Cool Sprinter
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4519296109&category=6315
Cool Sprinter... Owned by the Queen of Thailand? I didn't know they had a queen.

Nice old bus... pity the steering wheel is on the wrong side for use in Thailand. Wanna bet that thing gets 40 mpg like all the other MB diesels on eBay?
Thailand is a constitutional monarchy, like England, so I guess the queen part isn't necessarily BS. Tom |

Not only is there a Queen of Thailand,
Seems she was quite a looker in her day! http://www.thailand.com/travel/festival/festivals_bangkok_queen.htm

My mind immediately goes into overdrive on the potential of that old bus!!
Too bad that I cannot afford it. |

I haven't clicked on the link, but that bus has been on Ebay twice in the last couple of years, once in California and shorty thereafter on the East coast I believe. I'm pretty sure why it keeps showing up. While it is really a looker and a cool MB, speed flat out with the wind behind it going downhill is about 56mph. On European side roads where distances between destinations are short, it's no problem. But driving across Kansas in that thing will be a long day.

Yep, Kansas would be a haul and, I'm sure anything above 4000MSL would be slow too but that unit would be simply awesome on the back roads. I'd gut that thing, build in WVO filtering apparatus, some über light cabinetry for domestic habitation and cruise the countryside.
Oh, those Teutonic front seats would have to go too!
