| The model
- ABC Models produced two versions of ML2, the model featured on this page
representing the vehicle in its later life, with sliding upper deck front
windows replacing the small top openers, the registration plate now on
a white background and located under the drivers windscreen, the added
vent on the panel below this, and a stepped paint line at the front, as
shown in the picture above. This in fact nicely follows the "join" in the
casting, although I am unsure whether the step at the back is accurate.
The difference in the two models is clearly visible in the photograph below.
The bus
- MCW Super Metrobuses ML1 and ML2 were the first of six trial buses to
be used by Chian Motor Bus for evaluation purposes. ML1 was delivered in
May 1981, with ML2 following in late October that same year. ML2 was unique
in the CMB fleet, in as much it featured three doors, something that Kowloon
Motor Bus favoured on it's biggest buses. |
