Freighter Lawton's built the "Moonraker" body at their Seaton factory.It was a similar design to their other coach bodies at the time.
I'm looking for some history of the model. What year did the Moonraker first become available? I know that STA Roadliner had a few of them,I think they were Hino's. Then were a variety built on Bedford,Hino,Leyland to name a few.Majority seemed to have been single axle whilst fewer were 3 axle. One coach I remember was a 3 axle coach with a detroit engine.It was bought from nsw bus dealer Rob Treweren(excuse the spelling).It was owned by Rainbow Coaches in Adelaide.I saw this coach in 1988 in Adelaide.The owner was a friend of Flynns Buslines. Local bus company Associated Tourist Service had a Leyland Moonraker.What other companies had them in their fleets? The Moonraker was similar to these coaches below. Is it possible that Freighter Lawton used the same jig for the Moonraker,etc but the bodies used different panelling? If you have any photos,magazine adverts,etc please add them here.Thanks.
