They've Americanized it!! What's with all the grilling at the rear Denning Landseer style?!? Regardless, good to see a British bus in Sydney -that's had a tonne of money spent on it.

Re: ex Plymouth Atlantean JJY624G #224
I saw this same bus in a Field in South Nietta, Tasmania back in January 2006.
It was then being converted to a House Bus.... but the Lady owner had not continued. I think her partner had passed away recently then. The bus is fitted with a pneumo-cyclic gear change unit that also opened the doors, meaning the bus was always in neutral before doors could be opened.

Hi guys these pictures of the decker in Tas are not 224....This bus was/is 229 JJY629G This bus was purchased in NSW after being bought up from Tas. It went onto Brisabane but do not know where it is nowadays? I believe it was sold again couple years back from Brisbane?

All roads lead to Queensland when it comes to Australia's classic buses.

I bought this bus off Berryman a few years back and did a home made camper conversion before selling it to a young couple on Macleay Island in Moreton Bay in 2021 and they were going to live in it while building a house on the island.
