Cool bus! Does it have the M-code plate on the bulkhead behind the driver's seat? Please share the numbers. Although that engine vent arrangement was commonly seen on Oz buses, I've also seen pics of buses with those vents in Afghanistan and elsewhere in Asia. But RHD means this is most likely an Oz bus.

They raised the vents to reduce the amount of dust sucked into the engine compartment. This is a mod that would have been VERY useful in SA.

Nice Bus - You are a lucky man - Glad to see it being rescued by part of the family (Nice T5)
