C94763

C94763 was a Leyland National 11351/2R demonstrator bus

Notes

Some sources record its type as "1151/2R", however Leyland did not produce a version known as this. It is most likely "11351/2R" which was the longest version of this bus available.
It was the only "11351" (11.35m or 37 ft 3") model Leyland National imported to Australia. Subsequent Leyland Nationals acquired by ACTION (Buses 256 - 325) were the "10951" (10.95m) model, with other Australian operators opting for the 10951 type or the shorter 10351 (10.35m) version.
From November 1972 until August 1973 it operated for Forest Coachlines, Belrose NSW (Registration MO 166)
After leaving Canberra it operated for MTT Adelaide, later known as State Transit Authority of SA.
It was later acquired by Surfside, Tweed Heads where in 1994 it was rebuilt with a Volvo engine and ZF gearbox. It was the last Leyland National to be withdrawn from service at Surfside in the late 1990s.
In July 2000 it was transferred to the Queensland Omnibus & Coach Society for preservation, however it may have been subsequently scrapped.
