 Seen on a wet day in Rotorua in November 2017 was 399 (ENF595) a 1994 Mitsubishi Fuso, now retired.

 Later in the morning the Fuso is seen at the depot nearest the camera in a line up of Fusos with an ex Reading Buses Optare Excel 603 (ECD219) and a Nissan Diesel, 69 (BZW329), on the end. The other Fusos in order are 448 (ENF600), 408 (ENF598), 406 (ENF597) and 402 (ENF596). The Nissan and all the Fusos were sourced from Japan and have now reached the end of their days.
