Modern Day Coachmaster UNSW
Took these pics at gate 14 the other night.
The front looks like it was inspired by the Coachmaster body Hunters Hill Bus Co. purchased on Leyland and AEC chassis in the late 60's. PMC also had a similar headlight formation.
Even the taillights are similar, though only three cells each side on the Coachmaster.

Re: Modern Day Coachmaster UNSW
It looks a lot like a Volgren C222TX body. Might not be though.
If it's not a ZF, take it back!

Nowhere near as stylish as a Coachmaster.

You are correct!
Love the new Custom Denning vehicles

And the Endeavour Low Floor
And the new Element 100% Electric Bus - the first Aussie BEV bus

Re: Modern Day Coachmaster UNSW
Strangely, the superimposed Coachmaster front is actually an improvement over the hideous Volgren one.

Re: Modern Day Coachmaster UNSW
I'm glad someone appreciates it. It does look surprisingly good for something that was meant strictly as a gag haha.

Re: Modern Day Coachmaster UNSW
I do prefer that shop-over Coachmaster front on the C222TX - unless the bus has a bullbar on it. C222TXs do look pretty good with bullbars. Also, I assume the taillights were modified? Standard C222Txs as far as I've seen have a different taillight arrangement.
I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

Re: Modern Day Coachmaster UNSW
Taillights weren't touched. Pictures on the first post were originals.

I mean the taillights on that bus are different to most C222TXs:

Re: Modern Day Coachmaster UNSW
I have indeed seen that taillight cluster with the Coachmaster lookalike front. I'd say the round style was a mark II version.
