Fuso MP 'Sapporo City Memorial - Old Livery'
Sapporo City Transportation Bureau's Bus
Section, established in 1930, will close it's 74 year history in March
2004. The old livery was popular among citizens. This model reproduced
the historic livery on a current miniature bus as remembrance.
This model was listed in the Press
Release from Creative Master Northcord Ltd dated 14th November 2003.
A subsequent Press Release on 9th March 2004
reads :
"Whilst CMNL had anticipated being able to
release some of its JB1006 product onto the open market, the entire production
run was purchased by a single agent. Consequently, CMNL deeply regrets
that no models of JB1006 will be available for the Hong Kong or UK enthusiast
or collector market by open sale."
It is believed that the single agent is Club
Busrama, part of Porte Publishing Co, which is the CMNL distributor in
Japan.
