The model
- following close on the heels of the Best Choose Tilling-Stevens released
in July 2006 is this red and cream version with blue China Motor Bus fleetnames.
The bus
- 108 Tilling-Stevens "Express" single-deck buses
were ordered by China Motor Bus, the first entering service in February
1948.
56 of these buses were
of the short wheelbase design, type K5LA4, whilst the remaining 52 were
of the longer wheelbase, type K5LA7. These buses had dual entrances and
had separate 1st and 2nd class saloons.
A noticeable feature
of this design was the engine bonnet side panels, made of aluminium, but
never painted. |
