Dennis Condor DL2

China Motor Bus trialled six three-axle buses in 1981/82 - two being MCW Metrobuses (ML 1 & 2), two were Ailsa-Volvos (AL1 & 2) and the final two were Dennis Condors (DL1 & 2). Unlike the other two pairs, the Condors featured differing bodywork - DL1 having Duple Metsec and DL2 Alexander 'RX' type. Both arrived in 1982 with DL2 being registered on 13th July. It was transferred to New World First Bus on 1st September 1998 and was withdrawn on 23rd April 1999. It was subsequently acquired for private preservation and this page details this. On 1st June 2016 a model of the bus was released (200101).
