garco ◊ 2012-02-01 20:44	NZ-bus-expert wrote Greetings - sadly the image isn't good enough for me to exactly identify the vehicle. The fleet number is above the windscreen. It appears to be one of Wellington City Transport's PSU3 2R Leyland leopards. Body by New Zealand Mptorbodies. It is in an all over advertising livery - most of this group of buses were in advertising liveries..... because of their shape they were known as "Breadvans". We have bus No 397, of this group in our collection. Fleet numbers were from 282 to 397 - 16 in total. In service 1967 to late 1980's. We supply vehicles from our fleet to Movie makers. The NZ film Bread and Roses features our No 95 - an ex Railways Thornycroft. I drove our trolley bus 39 in a film called Christmas Oratorio. Our bus 322 was used in a German movie shot in NZ - can't remember its name. Other units of our fleet have been used in various advertisements and TV programmes. NZ=bus=expert wrote forgot to give you the location - it is in Stout Street outside the Defence Department- just South of the Lambton Quay intersection. -- Last edit: 2012-02-01 20:46:08
