Recent Events

"Speed the Movie, the Play"

The Perth Fringe Festival requested the use of one of our heritage buses for their very successful comedy production  "Speed, the Movie, the Play"  Back by popular demand, this fun production was a hit once more with the people of Perth. 
​
Our 1977 Mercedes Benz O305 (former MTT 171 City Clipper) stepped up to play the part of the hostage bus.  The interior of the bus was set up with lighting and special effects and the captive audience enthusiastically embraced their role as "hostages".  There was action, drama, fun props and good laughs for all. 

​171 played the part to perfection and following its short stint in the spotlight, returned to its everyday but valued role in service at Whiteman Park.

The Big Boys Toys Event

Two of our heritage buses stepped into the spotlight at the recent Big Boys Toys event held at Daimler Trucks Perth.  Representing us in style among the displays of trucks, bikes and other "toys" was our 1977 Mercedes Benz O305 (MTT 171) and 1952 AEC Regal Mark IV (Kalamunda 17).
