One of a pair of models released in Hong
Kong on 31st December 2001, these being the first diecast models from the
Hong Kong Model Co. - the other being 768043A.
100 such vehicles were delivered to China
Motor Bus between 1954 and 1961. Originally these vehicles had an underfloor
radiators, but problems with overheating were encountered as a result of
Hong Kong's testing climate, and the majority of these buses were fitted
with an additional "Birmingham" style radiator between 1967-69. This model
represents the vehicle after having received such treatment.
