The Who’s Magic VW Bus is an original Volkswagen  1965 Panel Van, Not only has the bus been autographed by Roger Daltrey CBE and Pete Townshend, and panted with an original  design by The Who’s art director, Richard Evans, it features images of the original band members and the band’s logo.

The bus was made for a charity auction to raise money for a UK charity Teenage Cancer Trust,  which Roger is sponsor.

The VW bus came about from a collaboration between The Who and VW last year when the Who did a special live concert at the celebration event “60 years of the Volkswagen van” in Hanover, Germany.

Anthony Jones  was the winner of The Who’s Magic VW Bus,  The Magic Bus competition raised over £28,000 ($40,000) for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity.  Almost 9,000 tickets were bought. Good job guys!
