Former Nationalbus #147 (M.A.N. SL200)

[Craig]

Dear All

Whilst in Bendigo on Friday, I happened to come across former Nationalbus #147 (M.A.N. SL200, Ansair Mk1) which was up for sale at a auction that day. This bus had been donated by Ventura, and converted to a "Street Surfer" youth bus in early 2007. I've posted some pics below that might be of interest.















Kind Regards

Good find Craig.

Not a bad interior makeover to this ex Nationalbus MAN and the bus would make a great camper with some work to the interior already done.

what a super tidy and clean old man, pity for the fitout, would have been one on the cleanest unconverted sl 200's around that still could be used for various day to day functions. Motor homes, motor homes!! They just destroy the true character of these things!!

The bus was donated by VBL, fit out paid by rotary club.
So what went wrong?
Giving up on the Youth of Bendigo, or was the sceme a flop?

Giving up on the Youth of Bendigo, or was the sceme a flop?

Beyond help, obviously!

Is someone making a profit from the sale of this? I'm assuming neither VBL or Rotary Club are auctioning the bus here.
