During 2003 several Orana bodied vehicles were retrofitted with "lids" to display advertisements above the side windows. At the end of the year every bus seemed to have the same advert - for Carbonell. The lids were quite elaborate replacing the fibre glass roof mouldings sides, front and rear, the latter incorporating the exhaust stack. Phoenix Orana 3943 (MO3943) is seen outside the QVB (Queen Victoria Building). |
