| The model
- This Condor is listed in the CsM January - June 2000 catalogue, however,
the model was not released in Hong Kong until January 2001.
The bus
- DA55 is one of a total batch of 92 air-conditioned vehicles, delivered
to China Motor Bus between 1990-7. The opening windows were similar to
those fitted to UK buses, being locked in the summer when the air-conditioning
was in operation and providing sufficient ventilation during the winter.
A later batch, DA57-82, had no opening windows, whilst the final batch,
DA83-92, featured bonded glazing.
