The model - one of two releases
featuring New World First Bus Dennis Condor DL43 with 'Be a Voter'
decals, the other (180127) is on route 82 to North Point.
The bus
- DL43
was one of a batch of forty-six 12 metre Dennis Condors which entered
service between July 1989 and January 1990. With the demise of MCW, who
had supplied China Motor Bus with eighty-four 12 metre buses
between 1981 and 1988, CMB turned to Dennis to supply this batch.
They are very similar to the Kowloon Motor Bus examples. DL43 was first
registered on 18th December 1989 and was retired in April 1999 after
which it was shipped to the UK (see here).
