| The model
- This Jubilant was included in the "Coming Soon" section of the Collector's
Model June-December 1999 Catalogue. Only two of these models were produced,
one of which was the prize offered to the lucky person who bought the Hong
Kong version of the Caltex liveried Victory (Model No. V111B),
in which was a numbered certificate. The winning number, announced at the
end of May 2000 was 184!
What happened to the second model and were
you the lucky winner?

carrying the same livery, but with a quantity of 300 pieces is due for
release in April 2003.
The bus -
After successful trials with 4 prototype Dennis Jubilants, KMB placed orders
for a further 360 examples, these being delivered between May 1979 and
May 1982. The first batches carried bodywork by Walter Alexander, whilst
the final batch of 150 were bodied by Duple/Metsec, in the form of ckd
kits. |
