CSS Mercedes benz O309, Ford fudunno what model...
Yes, the first MB1417 in Soon Chow body, running on route 157. It was a demonstrator too.
How to forget the 306 with the unique door switches.
Ah... The O309, school bus model.
The earliest DAF 220LT comes with ZF, and they were running on route 180.
Never had the chance to drive the Lynx. But heard that the drive is pleasant.
I was too young to ask about the Ford model. But remember it was a rickety ride with a front engine. Soon Chow body too.

Non Aircon buses use to be my all-time favourite too last time, even up to now.. how time flies fast...really miss those days with TIBS NAC japanese buses, SBS NAC buses..

NB sia....suddenly thought of the days where i buy non air con bus stamp and have to deposit 10cents more if i boarded an aircon bus.

Ok, guess I'm behind time but anyway, here are those pix of the NAC buses that I've found on my comp.. those pix are taken either last year (or early this year). Anyway, now it's the end of the NAC Buses in Singapore.
An NAC MK 2 bus on 151
SBS3636Y on 6 before it eventually become 354 perm when SBS3588C retires. SBS3656P replaces SBS3636Y on 354 and went to lay up. -

The MK-IIs were great buses but although there's only one NAC featured in there, it stands as a tribute to the MK-IIs as they first came into Singapore as an NAC with more than half of them being converted in 1999.

like the way they didnt paint over the SCANIA emblem. looks quite original. most of them either got debadged or simply painted over. -
