The Bus is two tone, white on top, and a "peachy" colour on the lower panels. The dash and interior trim are also peach/apricot in colour. The daughter-in-law swears that it has never been painted ... and it looks like original paint. Can anyone tell me if "peach" was a valid factory colour for '62? - - - - - it sounds like white and sealing wax red. the red fades to a colour some call orange, some pink, its hard to describe. if you polish it up it is more brickish red - just like sealing wax, actually. it is said to be a very difficult colour to have mixed accurately. for the last five to ten years. The 36bhp power(less) plant would likely need some work.. a 62 would have come with a 40hp when new .the engine compartment was clean and much taller than in my '67 ... not when new, unless it was modified .looks like there is a spare tyre mount to the right of the engine... sounds modified. good luck with getting a new bus.
