Last time ads on SBS buses were full body instead of only Left, Right & Rear as of now. Last full body ad was Carrier on Volvo MKII IIRC.

Cheers.

At first, only SBS double-deckers have full body ads and like he said, even the front was painted in the advertiser's colours. Much later, SBS tried to have full body ads on its single decks. I think the Carrier ad was the only one to grace the whole bus. At least 3 buses had them. 1 NAC Scania N113, 1 Alexander B10M Mk-II and 1 Duple Metsec B10M Mk-II. It caused some confusion at first as commuters thought they were not SBS buses. So they put the SBS logo on the bottom nearside of the windscreen. Finally, the law decreed that the front must remain in the company's livery.

What happened to the Leyland Lynx (early retirement)? Any pics of it

1.In its Crushed state (accident)
2. SBST livery (did it ever make it?)

When was the 811D introduced?

Do take note: Wikiwak stuff changes: The other time they said there is B10BLE in 2006 with rego SBS3** something. Today, the L94 Gemilang is gone. O.o

We never had a L94 Gemilang. 2888T is a Volgren L94. The Gemilang buses are K230UB vehicles.

Our B10BLE buses under SBST (And probably ONLY under SBST) are 1688K and the later 29XX buses.

Do take note: Take anything from any Wiki with a grain of salt. There's a chance it's false.

The Lynx was scrapped after it reached its 17 year lifespan. It wasn't painted in SBST livery. After the accident which destroyed its unique front, it was replaced with a PS type front from a Scania N113.

I've seen it a few times when it was in service back in th 1990s. I think it was first used on 106. When new, it had a big, blue "Leyland" word on its side; like it was advertising itself. However, I've never rode on it.

Hope that I don't miss out on anything. If anyone can post the pictures of all the above mentioned demos here, it will be nice.

Sadly, for the first generation of TIBS buses, there weren't any demos back then. However, I believed the Hino BF177 were the front engined, rear doored version of the back engined, mid doored Hino RK176.

Looks like you have the whole lot of them. You may want to add SBS2779A, Volvo B10M Mk-IV DM3500 body. It was the only one of its kind to have an EDS and the first? to have a small camera in front to 'catch' bus lane violators.
