Running the number plate through the Vic Roads website, it comes up with:

Vehicle Information Package
USER: Public Vehicle Details Confirmation SCRID: VIP02

The vehicle on VicRoads Vehicle Register corresponding to the registration plate number you have entered, has the following details:

Plate Number : WVY436
Vehicle Make : LEY
Vehicle Body Type : BUS
Year of Manufacture : 1988
Colour 1 / Colour 2 : BLUE
Transmission : AUTO
VIN/Chassis Number : TR00072
Engine Number : 8760320

Which is according the the Ventura disposal list

15 2637AO Leyland Tiger TR00072 PMC 1756 10.1987 B41D V K
ex (137), ex DIR137 ex FRW137

Which was the last new Leyland Tiger to go into service for Ventura and was one of my favourites as I spent many happy hours on board this bus during my teenage years, hard to believe just 10 years ago it was still on front line route service.

Brings a tear to my eye seeing old Tiger #137 (#15 in it's later years) looking like that, but that is what happens, but when it it finished it would make a great motorhome, should of been preserved, but I don't think Ventura are much into preservation, especially these days.
