The model
- This specially commissioned ABC Model for China Paint was released in
Hong Kong on 1st September 2000, advertising their 'Flower' brand. Whilst
1,000 were produced, only 500 were being made available to the public for
purchase. It is assumed that the other 500 are being offered to staff/customers
- unless you know different?
A second version was subsequently released
carrying a destination of "Not in Service".
The bus
- China Motor Bus took delivery of a further eighty-two 12 metre three-axle
Metrobuses following trials with ML 1 and ML2. ML49 entered service in
November 1987 and was withdrawn in September 1999, after having passed
to New World First Bus |
