Whether sold for use as a motorhome or not is unknown, but 11 (411LLO) has left the fleet since being photographed at the depot in August 2009. It was one of several MAN SL200s bodied by Denning, sourced locally from Brisbane City Council, where it had been 958 (958CEE). |

Hospitality from the Red & White owners on the visit extended to a short ride in 7 (787GQQ) a Leyland TL11 powered Tiger with PMC bus body which had been new to Punchbowl Bus & Coach in the Sydney area. Hopefully the bus will be seen in those colours again as Red & White sold it for preservation. |

Recently added to the Surfside fleet back in 1989 was this Leyland B21 in advert livery. The B21 was a version of the Leyland National suitable for bodying independently and PMC performed the task on 617 (617NZT) in this case. The bus was sold on to Red & White as their 9 (320DRR), and from there sold for use as a motorhome in the Bundaberg area, but then across the country to Armadale, WA with rego WU278. |
This February 2016 picture of a former Deluxe Austral HRP2 Minimaster 30 seater is the result of a restoration project by Langley's of Dubbo. The coach was acquired from Red & White where it was 30 (COA30), the rego linking to Red & White's alternative Coach Australia branding. The coach had been new to Deluxe in 1988, in whose livery it is now presented, as 203 (VX84AG), the company that crashed spectacularly dumping its huge fleet of new coaches on the second hand market. The Minimaster was snapped up by Hopkinsons as TV533. It now has rego TV8354 and fleet number 12 with Langley's.
