The model - Best Choose released two further Fleetlines in July 2016, both featuring D666 and both carrying Marlboro cigarette advertising. This version is on route 102 to Shau Ki Wan whilst the other (180123) is on route 105 to West Point.

The bus - Kowloon Motor Bus received a total of 450 Daimler/Leyland Fleetlines between 1974 and 1979, all being 33 feet long. Bodywork was spread between MetSec, BACo and a few with KMB's own bodywork. D666 was the first of the Fleetlines and was registered on 26th June 1974, being withdrawn on 18th November 1988. A photograph of this bus, in this livery and with the same route number and destination, appears in Mike Davis's excellent book 'Hong Kong Buses - Volume 2 - Kowloon Motor Bus'.
