Here's another image of one outside Central Station in Sydney, highlights the Fageol engine cover design I referred to earlier.

Catherwoods of Belfast, Northern Ireland purchased the only Fageol Safety Coach to operate in the U.K.. It was acquired from the Fageol agent in London where it had been a demonstrator but it was not in the fleet acquired by the Northern Ireland Road Transport Board from Catherwoods in 1935 when passenger road transport in Northern Ireland was nationalised.

I understand that as a RHD Fageol it is believed to have been shipped to Australia? Can anyone provide anymore information on this and, if it did go to Australia, what happened to it subsequently?
