After many considerations in 1958 Thomas decided to build his first van/bus type car. New car got the name Bese, what means Minibus in sotho language.
Bese was offered in many variants of quipment. Every customer can first time really customize Bese to your needs. So, if someone need a small, cheap transporter to, for example - fishing, can build really cheap, with minimum equipment and maximum load on roof too. But also it was possible to build very good and comfortable equiped camper or family travel/adventure car.
Bese was available with two engines and three variants of power. Smalest engine was taken from last Komanco, from BlueBox1100 engine family. Other two variants came from BlueBox1600 engines family from model Bonan II. Bese was offered in two lenght bodies - normal 4,06m and long 4,34m.
