Sydney AEC Regent III 2338 at the Sydney Bus & Truck Museum
2008. Thanks to Dave Urquhart for the photo.
Last updated 7 February 2011
This list is intended to record surviving exported double-deck
halfcab buses based on a British-built chassis. The vehicles will not have
served in UK during their working lives, but were exported either with British
bodies, or had bodies built locally in their destination countries.
The listing is arranged in order of (1) Chassis manufacturer,
(2) Country, (3) Chassis model (i.e. Bristol L5, then L6, or Tiger TS7 then
TS8 etc.), (4) original operator in alphabetical order. Then each entry shows
original operator, original fleet number, subsequent owners / fleet numbers
if applicable, chassis type, chassis number in brackets {__} if known, body
type (and age if different from chassis age), body number in brackets {__}
if known, chassis build date, registration number, ownership details.
Abbreviations are listed at the end. The bodywork abbreviations
are in the standard format, i.e. 'B', 'C' or 'DP' (for Bus, Coach or
Dual-Purpose), followed by the seating capacity, then by the door position
'F', 'C', 'R' or 'D' (for Front, Centre, Rear or Dual). The prefix 'U' means
a wartime Utility body, 'F' means a full-front, and 'O' means Open Top.
For the latest additions (i.e. a bus that was always around,
but I've only just found out about it !) look for
thesymbol.
For any significant information updates see the
symbol.
Entries with links will usually connect to a photograph
of the vehicle elsewhere on this site, or to information on another
site.
