The Katatstrophenschutz Spotter! Here's all the KatS buses discovered so far...is yours on here? Add it to the gallery!

Vicky and another of the 112 at Vanfest '07!

 

Seen at Vanfest 2007, PA and light removed (blanking bolts visible), white mirrors, flag mounts in place, rear step still fitted, blanking plugs where the cables for the horns were.

 

Also at Vanfest 2007, still with nice door decals, blanking bolts on the roof, visible blanking plugs (black) for horn cables and flag mounts on B pillar. No rear step or mast mount but sockets still fitted in rear quarter. No flare on tailgate. Unusual mirror rotation!

 

Another superb bus recently sold by the Bus Brothers up in Clitheroe. Unusual trimmed table (useful mod though!) and some other cupboard mods done by the fire station she was based at. Are you the new owner?

 

This one, from Simmerath in Kreis Aachen was for sale at Stanford Hall and sold by lunchtime! And with 16000 miles on the clock it's hardly surprising!

 

 

Courtesy of BOS fahrzeuge this one is currently in service in Hannover! Notice it's the half van type FuKW, VW Type 21.

 

 

I'm always on the lookout for other KatS vans, not to buy, but just to have a look round and have a natter, if you own one and want to get in touch then drop us an email. Or see the Bughaus Forum which has a Katastrophenschutz section.

It would be good to get a group together to arrange meets etc, see the forum for the latest stuff (they'd look fantastic in a big line up!). Keep an eye out for Vicky at a show near you!
