The body work on this bus was by NZ Motor Bodies. The bus was converted to a Movan in 1993 after 29 years as a passenger service vehicle. The original Leyland 0400 engine is still the bus.
The owners of 1240 pose with the bus early 2006. This is a photo of a photo and unfortunately
there is some distortion. Photo Owen Crequer.
