Sold to who & where ??
What's the total distance driven (mileage) when sold ?
11 years old only (for an M-B) seems premature to stop using
them.
20 to 30 years is more within expectation !

811D minibuses...
[*]In 1992, SBS introduced 5 Mercedes Benz 811D minibuses that were
bodied by a local company called Asia Coach. These buses were
initially deployed on services M1 and M2. In 1994, Dennis Darts
replaced the 811Ds of the two services. The 811Ds were then
deployed on the newly introduced service 20. After service 20
merged with service 125 on 27 Nov 2000, these buses disappeared for
a while, only to reappear on service 323. When service 323 was
withdrawn on 24 February 2002, these buses once again disappeared.
In June 2002, these buses were spotted on services 42, 182 and 183.
They were used only for a very brief period of time before being
de-registered by November 2002. Interestingly, one of these 5
buses, SBS8005K, was repainted in the new livery before being
de-registered. All 5 buses were sold by February 2003. [/b]
