Find of the Day: 1965 Auto Union F1000-D Bus

words: Bill, photos: E&R Classics

The normal Find of the Day featured here are exotic or sexy or rare. This is, however, none of those. Well, except for maybe rare especially in this condition. This is a 1965 Auto Union F-1000D Bus. Yeah, I had to look it up also. While it wears the four rings up front, its heart is a 4 cylinder Mercedes diesel located between the two seats.

The seller claims it has original paint and only 42,556km. It was in Spain for a long time but now resides in The Netherlands. Here’s the ad:

This is an Auto-Union F1000D bus. The car is in neat condition and would be perfect as promotion car or Foodtruck. The car has the original colour and provided with a sun visor. This bus has stood still in Spain for a longer time. At extra cost of € 4.000,- the car will be made ready for MOT and becomes major maintenance.

Car has Spanish title and mot/tuv. Easy to register in every EU country. You do not need to pay any import taxes. We can help with transport.

And that’s it. However, we were able to find another ad for it on hemmings.com which goes into a little more detail:
