No not really only used to get called Mini or Mini Mk2, then the name CB20 was adapted when we built Bustech's designs

Here are 2 x 40ft Custom Coaches.These are around mid 1980s.What model does that make them? At times they were referred to as the Denning Look.

What years were these built? Was there much difference between the first of that body shape and the final model?

Thanks.

What about this coach body? When did it first go into production and when did it stop? What coach model replaced it?

Looks like the first Mk90 was built around July 1981 & the last one was built around January 1988.
The Mk 95 Hyliner replaced the Mk 90 although we were building both models for a few years

Thanks Trevor 062.
I've heard people calling the Mk series The Denning Look.There is a similarity to some degree.Nice looking coach as a 40ft.
Its interesting to see a Hyliner alongside a Volgren Twin Deck.There was a Volvo advert showing 2 side by side.Interesting to compare them when they are both on volvo B10M's.

http://www.busaustralia.com/gallery/dis ... ?pos=-7340 is shown in both fleet list and photo description as a Custom Coaches 510 but it does not look like the others shown in the photo gallery as a 510.

And http://www.busaustralia.com/gallery/dis ... ?pos=-8244 also looks doubtful.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have fixed the photo gallery where I have also fixed a couple of other similar errors.

Now someone needs to do the fleet lists.
