Old SBS Double Decker

OldBussy SG

Hi all,

Need help for old pics of an old SBS Model. Its not even listed in SBS Transit webpage now.http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/about/m...ane.aspx#d1980

Brand: Forgotten; LeyLand if i remember...or is it a Bedford.

Seen Surprised n bus number (sometimes) 139 - 143- 159 and a few other services.

Last seen : 1990 using OTS coin only system

Description: -->

Doors : 4 panel door (its the only SBS Model with a 4 panel folding door)

Hat shape wheel casing (not the hub; the main body above the wheel)

Body : It has a pipe for drainage at the back of the bus (outside) and the bus body has a sharp curvature from the back

Bus number signage: only e.g 143 can be seen, very small window just fit for the number.

In general: the oddest/distinct shape bus SBS ever had.

Any photos anyone? Please Please help

Million Thanks !

P.S I sent a request for help to SBS Transit to [email protected] I hope some kind souls will be interested/able to help my nostalgic query. Hope and Pray !

suhirman the bus guide (Express502 on sinbus) had a pic of a 4 panel door in his siggy at sinbus i think. the model should be Volvo Ailsa B55 (?).
url is here: http://s14.invisionfree.com/SINbus
the forum requires registration to view the posts though. and i very long never log in already, so i dunno if he changed his sig.

Too bad the above are not in the colors of SBS. Would be authentic.

But still, I am very happy to see these picture on the net.
