The model
- an early pre-production example of this casting appeared at the Hong
Kong Exhibition of the History of Hong Kong Buses held in August 2009.
Confirmation that two models were to be issued appeared in the October
2009 edition of KMB Today, one in standard white livery (92701)
and this one in pink. Both models were released in Hong Kong on 30th
January.
The bus
- to fill the gap between the smaller Toyota Coaster minibuses and the
full size single deckers, Kowloon Motor Bus took delivery of 168
Mitsubishi
Fuso MK117J between May 1990 and September 1993. All were fitted with
air-conditioning
and operated a variety of routes. Some featured a luggage area for use
of the airport routes. Several received a pink 'Nathan Shopper' livery
to promote several routes serving Nathan Road. AM158 entered service on
1 June 1993.
