Re: Willunga Charter Fleet Changes
Gen details for New MAN at BusVic Expo.
7/2011 MAN 18.360 WMAR33ZZ9BC015750 Coach Concepts C57F.
Still more King Longs on the way, this one is for a different application, and probably a few more CC's on the way also! (Just a note, Not ex MAN stock, this was ordered to our spec).
Busben777
P.s. did you get any photos of the displays Dave?? Unfortunatley I havent made it for the show this year!

I was there on Sunday watching them set up, I'll be posting some pics shortly of S.A. buses outside the pavilion(s). Was very cramped inside so decent shots where basically impossible.

Nope is definatley not stock and to clarify I meant Coach Concepts by "CC" Not the other!!! They will most likley be the same as displayed at Busvic, but will know more after this one hits the road and we consider the operational and customer feedback.
P.s. thanks for the photos! they are great Hope you had a great time at the conference!
Re: Willunga Charter Fleet Changes
Unfortunately I didn't attend the conference just the set up day, but maybe next year ill get a pass. But I got to see and photograph what was there. The new Bustechs where definitly the stand out of the show though (besides the Willunga MAN )

Re: Willunga Charter Fleet Changes
Hey busben777, could you get the following details please:
VIN from SB 25 CO and SB 39 CG and also full details from SB 42 DT. Build should read HVAB10-023 or something like that, Need the VIN and KL body date (should be 01/01/2011) or something along those lines - not the date on the compliance.
Reason is these can sit around for ages and the compliance and actual build date varies most of the time!

New Year Fleet Update
New is:
u/r Fuso Rosa Deluxe Euro V 11/11 C24F VIN#:JLFBE64DJ0RF10574
SB62DA 6/11 MAN 18.290 Euro V Vin#: WMAA91ZZ0BC015703 C57F King Long 6126
SB63DA 6/11 MAN 18.290 Euro V Vin#: WMAA91ZZ4BC015705 C57F King Long 6126
Correction:
SB05BH is still owned by Willunga Charter not sold to Townsends as reported in fleet lists! However the Vin is incorrect (maybe this is why it has been listed as sold). Actual VIN#: WMAA91ZZ88C011195
