FüKW TEL 80 Bus Register
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 11:16 am
Total Built = 112, Built by VW in 1977, Converted by Brunn between delivery and 1980 when first registered. Used as on location command centre by the Katastrophenschutz (Disaster Control) for large incidents, natural disasters and of course in the event of a nuclear war.
These buses are easily distinguished from the earlier FuKW78 as the the TEL 80 has windows all round (albeit partly frosted) unlike the half panel 78 which had no rearmost windows and no rear window. The interior layout differs in that the TEL80 has no radio desk just a pair of bench seats, a fold down table and a large rear bulkhead cupboard unit.

Please feel free to post your bus onto the register with a few pics with as much build plate info as you wish. One post per bus please.
