NEH 1015 - Another Big Bus Puzzle - all Solved!

[Carnut]

It's time for another bus puzzle!

Same rules as last time : 1 point for the chassis/engine builder and date plus another point for the bodybuilder.

However, I don't necessarily know all the makes or all the bodybuilders or even the exact dates, so just give me what you can and it may be that you know more than I do!

Again this puzzle will only have a short stay with the Rookies, just in case we have some new Rookie bus expert, then it will quickly move up through the Experts to the Pro's.

As before, points will be awarded as they are earned.

Good hunting!

Second batch:

It doesn't look there are any bus experts amongst the new Rookies, so let's move this one upwards to the Experts...

[Carnut]

OK.  Here are my first guesses (as quick as possible)

#1 Albion CX19 for Hills Bus Service - Yes, but there's more to it than that!  When does the chassis date from?  When does the body date from?  Who built the body?

#2 IFA DO fom 1956 Est=Berlin - Yes!
#3 Biamax F600 from 1962 Athens - Yes!
#7 Sunbeam Sikhfrom 1933 bodied by Dodson (H36/28R) - Yes!
#10 A bus bodied by Verheul ? - Don't know who built the body actually; might be Verheul. But what's the chassis?

#11 White semi, the first in New South Wales -  Yes!
#12 Saviem for Paris Vision, maybe a S105 - Yes, although I don't know the model designation; when does it date from?

#13 Morris FF Band Bus from 1961 - Yes!
#14 Ford from 1937 for Greyhound in Australia - It's a Ford yes, but that's not quite enough; a Ford what? Date not quite right; who built it?

#16 A Delahaye from 1947 ? - Yes; what model?

#17 Scania from 1938 bodied by Steffe - Yes!
#18 A bus bodied by Busaf ? - Might be BUSAF, I don't know.  I'm looking for the make/chassis builder?

#19 Pegaso Z403 Monocasco from 1952 - Yes!
#24 DAF bodied by Renova - Yes!
#30 Büssing-NAG 375T bodied by Gaubschat from 1935 - Yes!
#33 Krauss-Maffei 54KML - Krauss-Maffei is right but I have a different model; when does it date from?

Very good start!
I'll tot up the points later; maentime there's a bit to work on!

[Carnut]

no. 9: Zonda A9 from China
no. 21: Amphicoach

[Carnut]

no. 9: Zonda A9 from China

That's it!

[Carnut]

#10 A bus bodied by Verheul ?

It's not by Verheul as far as I can ascertain.

[Carnut]

no. 9: Zonda A9 from China
no. 21: Amphicoach

Amphicoach is right but it has a model designation too.
1 point awaiting you when you give me it!

(I'd prefer it if you gave new answers as separate posts rather than edits of previous posts, as otherwise they might not get noticed.  Thanks)

[whcgt]

bus # 21.jpj = Amphicoach GTS. World's first amphibious bus. Builder Amphicoach of Malta. 12 to be made. Engine Iveco Tector turbo diesel. Saw a partial answer already, thought I would give more details. ;)

[Carnut]

Thanks whcgt but I was really awaiting del78's answer with the model designation, as I said.
However, the designation you have given is not totally correct so this is locked for del78's reply with the correct full answer.  If he doesn't get it at first try then I'll open it up again.

[Carnut]

31 - Leyland Tiger
35 - Commer

No and No; sorry!

Actually you're not too far out with #35 - keep working on it!

[whcgt]

Sorry if I screwed up del 78 answer. I did not see his response until after I searched it. I had seen that #21 was not answered & I pusued it.

[max]

#35 - a nod's as good as a....Karrier Q25 with Auto Cellulose body, 1953.

[del78]

Amphicoach GTS-1 (Luxury Coach Version)

#35 - a nod's as good as a....Karrier Q25 with Auto Cellulose body, 1953.

That's worth 2 points!

[Carnut]

Amphicoach GTS-1 (Luxury Coach Version)

That's what I was looking for!

[pguillem]

Preparing for the remaining work.  But before : #25 is a Màvag-Mercedes-Benz BX333 in Budapest.

Almost (MAVAG/Budapest) but not the right model designation, or at least not the one I have..
Locked for you to dig a little more for designation and year.
