Doug Lever and his wife Dawn ran a very successful coaching operation from Queanbeyan which they sold to Transborder Express. Lever Coaches loved American style coaches and imported the first Eagle coach not intended for Greyhound and went on to acquire more and then built up a fleet of Dennings. Their work in the ACT involved them in organising transport for state visits of the King of Spain, Pope John Paul II, President George Bush Snr and President Bill Clinton. The couple moved to Bega in 2000 as their daughter Karen and husband Pete encouraged them to abandon retirement and purchase Bega Valley Coaches. Sadly Doug passed away at the age of 90 in April 2022, he is survived by his son and daughter and two classic Lever Coaches American machines.

  Bought in 2002 was this mammoth 87 seat AB Denning Galaxy bodied Volvo B12RT, 1101MO, seen at the depot in March 2017. It was sold for use on a mine contract at Nyngan in 2018 and its rego donated to a Bustech XDi new in 2019.

 This Bustech SDi 2016 (1103MO), seen the same day, was celebrating its first birthday.

 A bit out of place in the fleet was this secondhand purchase, TV1150, a 2008 Volgren SC222 bodied Iveco Delta acquired at auction the previous year. The coach had previously worked for Mining Company in the NT as their 19485 (907011). It has since taken rego 1104MO.

 Like 0810, 3105 (1105MO) was displayed at the Sydney Bus Show when new. This Denning Silver Phoenix dates from 2013.
