| The model
- Corgi's original intentions were to allocate product codes 43211 and
43212 for two Long Win Bus models, these representing two 11 metre
vehicles,
which had received experimental liveries. Corgi had already
issued
a standard liveried model (see 43208).
This model is a
pre-production example of
what was planned to be 43211. This model was scheduled for release in
June
1998, but owing to problems, believed to be related to licensing
problems
from Long Win Bus, it was never released.
The product
number 43211
was eventually used for the first of three New World First Bus Volvo
Olympians.
The bus
- KMB loaned 5 Volvo Olympian 11 metre air-conditioned buses (fleet
nos.
AV238-AV242) to Long Win Bus, prior to the arrival of their Dennis
Tridents.
Two of these received experimental Airbus liveries, of white/orange/red
and white/red. This model carries the latter and is based on AV240
(reg.
HH1452).
