Post by: Sir Pompously on October 24, 2012, 11:51:55 PM
Hi all,

Looking through the National Archives..... archives I have found a photo of this vehicle! http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/scripts/Imagine.asp?B=11717022

Can anyone identify it?

Thanks!

That would be the first Bus 100, the AEC Reliance with Freighter coach body.

This is ZIB100 the first coach. Interestingly the stripes on the sides of the bus where the 2 white stripes were white, they were gold on both ZIB 100 and ZIB 125 instead of white
