I found this Matchbox bus on Amazon the other day. I’ve rarely seen Bay Window toy cars, and had never seen an orange one, so I had to get it! Plus the roof even kind of looks like a Sportsmobile top. The car is actually a 1970, and Gus is a 1978, but it’s pretty close in appearance.
(Gus did get a shiny new chrome VW logo for his nose for Christmas – I’ll be putting that on soon after a wet sand of the front)
And here are a few of Mini Gus’s friends:
And hopefully large Gus’s future stablemate, a 1969 (or thereabouts) Squareback (this is a Hot Wheels one I picked up a few years ago)
