| The model -
whilst being the third Daimler 'A' to be released by Cars Workshop,
it is the first to feature a traditional exposed radiator, and also the
first diecast model to feature gates.
The bus
- HK4032 was delivered new to KMB in June 1950, 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, HK4032 became D50. It was withdrawn in January
1976.
