At last, a gift to satisfy even the most discerning old-school metalhead in your life. Punters on Gumtree are being invited to drive away this 38-foot leviathan, claimed to be Black Sabbath’s old tour bus, for the paltry sum of just £750.
None-too-subtly marketed as the 70s rockers ‘old shagging wagon’, the DAF 8.2 litre diesel coach has ‘only’ 160,000 miles on the clock and until recently was providing ‘cheap accommodation’ in Scotland, where it currently sits.
Worry not, petrolheads; ‘tyres are inflated’ although she’ll need ‘two big 12v batteries to turn her over’, whatever the fuck that means.
It has a kitchen (‘of sorts’) and a few bunks on which you’re presumably encouraged to recreate Ozzy and the gang’s groupie-smashing heyday. Plus a toilet compartment, and even (get this) a sink.
If you’re strapped for cash fear not; the open-minded vendor is even prepared to swap it for an equally interesting vehicle – although not, he’s at pains to point out, any ‘Vectors/Mondeos, or other forms of landfill.’ See the advert here
So if you’ve got any classic rock vehicles kicking around for swapsies – John Lennon’s psychedelic Rolls Royce, Led Zeppelin’s Boeing 720, that sort of thing – this could be your lucky day.
Earlier this year the band played their last ever tour, and longtime collaborator and keyboardist Geoff Nicholls sadly passed away.
