Oh that 4570. What an amazing looking bus it was. I wonder if it survived as a camper or something. I have a horrible feeling it went to Simmsmetal.

Punchbowl Bus selection

Centralian,
Thanks very much for posting these Punchbowl shots.Certainly brings back some memories especially m/o 4570 and m/o 5796.Many a journey on these whilst they were coaches and then in later life when Punchbowl themselves converted them into route buses.

The Tiger PMC in question on display at the Bus Show was m/o 521 which ended it's days as a Christmas Tree at Hannans Road for the other Tigers in the fleet and later was scrapped-the only ex.Punchbowl Tiger that didn't survive sell off and reuse by other operators.

Kind Regards Punchbowl Tiger

Thanks you Centralian drove the older ones actually repainted a few too.
Better have driven then never to have driven at all. Even better to have driven them all.
