Invicta was a partner on Smartbus with Grenda and ordered nine Scania K230UB with Volgren CR228L bodies for the route. Seen at Frankston in August 2008, 207 (6707AO) was the only one whose body was not built in Malaysia. Two of the buses were absorbed into the Grenda fleet after Invicta was taken over by Grenda the following year. All buses were later badged Ventura. |

The new Ventura group livery was evident in this sunny afternoon shot of 854 (9049AO) at the 2012 Sandown Truck & Bus Show. Grenda was already eliminating the variety of liveries amongst its subsidiaries whilst retaining their individual fleetnames. The Ventura fleet identification was confined to the depot name situated above the windows at the rear, in this case Lilydale is just visible, but clear in the larger image revealed by clicking on the picture. |
