Ford Thames Trader Buses

From 1960 to 1965 Ford imported 21 Thames Trader 30 and 36 bus chassis into New Zealand. I believe these were the first British built Ford buses in New Zealand as the earlier V8 chassis had all come from Canada. All these vehicles pre-date permanent registration plates in New Zealand.

Also included are some buses built on Ford Thames truck chassis

The buses on this site are actively tracked. The last registration record search was 4 March 2010.
