[Tas Bus Nut]

One of MY favourite coaches was the O302 Mercedes Benz. LOVED them with bodywork by
Denning, but they looked OK with similar PMC bodies. Below is a selection of O302s that
operated in Tasmania over the years. ALL photographs © Bruce Tilley


Redline Coaches #13


Ace Tourist Coaches #28


Tasmanian Motorways (PMC body)


Saintys Coaches


Redline Coaches #5


Redline Coaches (ex Don Bower)


Manions Coaches - although I like the O302, I HATE it with this fully imported Manheim body


Redline Coaches #31


Cooks Coaches


Saintys Coaches

I know you didn't like them boronia, but they weren't THAT bad Mind you, I will admit the O303 WAS better

Have these photos been deleted? I can't seem to access them. I'm trying to find the history of a Mercedes O302 for sale in Victoria that apparently has the name 'Tasmanian Princess' faintly visible under subsequent coats of paint.

Unfortunately, all my photos I had stored on Photobucket have disappeared.
