Some very minor scratches, dings, and cracks. I have more pictures of the under carriage. Smoke free as it is a business. Runs and drives great. Odometer reads 49042, but I don't know if the OD has rolled. I replaced the original 1.7L engine in 2011 with an 1.8L. New brakes. Good radio. Good electrical.
Restoration and espresso stand conversion in 2010. Fully operational. Good for events or daily route. The business is set up to run on a 120v 25amp breaker. Just plug it into a standard wall receptacle.
Nuovo Siminelli espresso machine 120v
Nuovo Siminelli coffee bean grinder
Vitamix blender with 2 mixers and 1 sound buffer

Set up has water pump to maintain water for espresso machine, sink, and pitcher washer. 20 gallon fresh water tank and 20 dirty tank. Also comes with stock of cups, lids, straws, syrups, pumps, milk pitchers, shot glasses, stir spoons, sugar packets, etc.
This Bus is a major eye catcher. Anywhere we went people wanted a drink. We used it for events only, but it could easily do a daily route. We served hot drinks in the morning and cold drinks in the afternoon.
We've taken this to car shows, art festivals, sand castle events, music festivals, pumpkin patches, and tree festivals. We took our son along too. He'll ask quite often when were taking the coffee bus somewhere. We would make him a "special coffee", which was steamed milk and vanilla syrup. He loves them. We are selling it because our financial circumstances have changed. We started it when my wife and I were out of work. It made us quite a bit of money. However, now she's working full time as a college instructor and I'm working full time as a store manager. We hope someone can have as much fun as we did.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
