We hired this bus for a special balloon safari in the Inle lake/Pindaya areas of Myanmar.
The owner apparently has 5 of these buses and lives in Yangon. Each one cost 50,000$ (US) to rebuild. You too can have the pleasure of one...for 500$ a day! A bit of a step up from our usual CMPs (See Keith Webbs site for pics of our 'normal' balloon buses)-

Somewhat unusual
Thanks for sharing the pics Andy...
This is indeed a most unusual CMP and would possibly take the prize for most expensive too, a bit like a cross between a CMP and luxury yacht. The carved aircon outlets are particularly impressive! What was it powered by? The other question of course is, apart from bits of the front shell, Chev bowtie and radiator guard how much is still CMP?

No idea about the powerplant, but it did shift!
The other question Keith, is how much of the original was left when it was converted to a bus 55 years ago! Still, at least it keeps the basic shape alive if nothing else... I'll try and get some shots of our 4 buses together sometime and post on here.
