Amongst the stars of the Yarra Glen 2016 was this pair of former Lever vehicles. The Eagle had been seen before, but the "All American" White bus was new to the scene. Up till ten years ago the White was in regular use with Bega Valley and had only recently been placed on loan to the Drivers Classics Collection for care and attention by Doug Lever.

This view of the White was captured in the brief burst of afternoon sunshine. It was the only right hand drive White imported to Australia.

To commemorate the 90th anniversary of Drivers Bus Lines the Bus & Coach Society of Victoria staged a two day visit to Drivers' premises in April 2021. The Saturday was at Mount Waverley depot and on the Sunday enthusiasts gathered there for the trip to the Hastings depot. The Eagle was one of the vehicles used for the transfer and is seen here on the Hastings depot forecourt which betrays the size of the enormous yard behind the building.
