The model -
this is one of two Daimler 'A's to be released by Kowloon Motor Bus on
27th July 2017, the other featuring one with a 'Birmingham' style
radiator (KMB-M-2017038).
The bus
- 4966 was delivered new to KMB in May 1949, with only a rear platform
entrance/exit. In 1955, a front entrance was installed, and sliding gates
fitted. In 1964/5, the gates were replaced with doors, and in 1974, when
KMB renumbered their fleet, 4966 became D31. It was withdrawn in January
1980.
