Does anyone know the history of 414 as it does not appear in the fleet list?

Rode on the City Explorer once and the fare cost $15 at that time and asked the driver where the buses were made and he explained the the buses were made in Hong Kong.

How old were you when you rode the buses? from memory the $15 fare was a child fare.

As for the buses, they are a british design, built in Hong Kong from kits sent from the UK.

Sounds about right for the concession fare, I cant remember that far back and dont have my Adelaide Tour brochures anymore. I could have been the one who sold you the ticket or even been one of your drivers.
