The model - Corgi's original intentions were to allocate product codes 43211 and 43212 for two Long Win Bus models, these representing 11-metres vehicles, which carried a slightly different liveries to their 12-metre counterparts (see 43208).

This model is a pre-production example of what was planned to be 43212. This model was scheduled for release in June 1998, but owing to problems, believed to be related to licensing problems from Long Win Bus, it was never released. 

The product number 43212 was eventually used for the second of three New World First Bus Volvo Olympians.

The bus - Long Win's 11-metre buses carried either white/orange/red or just white/red liveries. This model is based on Long Win Bus registration number HH1412, the fleet no. is KMB AV239. KMB loaned 5 Volvo Olympian 11-metre air-conditioned buses to Long Win Bus, these being AV238-AV242.
