Don't forget there are a few camper-bodied 101's about that would work
great as a minibus. I assume you've seen pics of mine and the Skye one?
I have double opening side doors and 4 x 3-seater bench seats around the
outside of the interior. The Skye bus also uses an electrically operated
step system for getting in and out.

There is a link to some pics of the Skye bus on my page
at www.101camper.com

I've not fergot 'em. what I've also not got is a 101 to convert... nor at
the moment the money to secure such, even, I suspect if I sold the disco.
