Interesting photos.....and the personalied plate.... That ended up on another Bus....

Daimler Fleetline CRL6/33 / Northern Counties
ex Southend Transport No 348 WJN348J. NZ 4HIRE. The Thirsty Whale Irish Pub, The Port, Napier

The front end by the way was much altered in Australia...those top front windows and the first side ones are not original...neither are the Headlights.....

from memory seeing the bus in the shop, the engine and gearbox have gone...........and clearly the top has been cut into so I doubt if it would ever operate again.....
