Since you seem to be so desperate to be immortalised as the Doyen of the correct gen, fact-checking reveals that 240 was built in February 1977 whereas Adelaide's MTT had already fitted an evaporative unit to AEC Swift 584 by May 1976. I haven't looked for the exact date and there is no challenge ...

Imagine the owner of the site having a life and not having perthbus as their top pirority.
Yeah, I try to imagine it too! Please excuse my sarcasm as I appreciate your comment.
19 years of hard slog & not good enough for some - not to mention personal expense. The site currently costs $1200pa ...

Is it true Path Transit (previously Australian Transit Enterprise P/L) still owns the deeds for the Wanneroo Depot (now in Swan Transit's control)?
Unsure. I have a map saved somewhere (from the 2000s, mind you) that showed the locations of present and ...

This coach is now a motorhome in Hopetoun WA. No further details yet.

Oh, an anecdote about Regal IVs: I never rode either in service, but apparently the preselects were favoured over the monocontrols. My school bought a monocontrol one on my 12th birthday. Despite being a fantastic new experience with all those new noises to memorise, it was quite evidently a slug ...

Fantastic read RK215. I rarely visit this forum any more due to lack of such expertise content.

I vividly recall my confusion as I stood on William St Sydney in January 1989 listening to one of their Leopards moving away from a stop. It simply didn't make the right noises, but was rather to my ...

Thanks for the link to the TrolleyWire issue; I didn't realise they were available online. I haven't worked through the information contained in that issue, but you'll find details & photos of Perth's trolleybuses here: https://perthbus.info/index.php?page=15#770.0

Bidding on this item closes in less than 4 hours.

I can't help with any more similar Morrises, but here's a very similarly-bodied Austin but with a shorter wheelbase; owner & location unknown; photo from c2007:

Bump!

I've been trying to identify the Wittenoom RFW. What do the experts think? Which one was it at The Entrance?

Well pardon me. Please arrange for a full refund.

Thanks for posting the photos. Whilst Daimler Freelines were rare in Australia, they were plentiful in Auckland. Perth had 31 of them and two are with the Bus Preservation Society at Whiteman Park. One of the sisters to yours was in preservation in the 1980s but was then sold for more use as a bus ...
