Well, the two Kowloon Motor Bus 'retro' liveried MCV D123 bodied Volvo B8Ls appeared on the 80M Bus Model Shop website this morning for Overseas customers to purchase and, not surprisingly, they showed 'Sold out' soon afterwards!
Upon further investigation and having made some additional enquiries, I now believe that there were ten resin Citybus liveried Jonckheere Monaco bodied Volvo B12s along with three white versions. These were all produced by B&B (Brilliant) Buses. In addition, accurate product codes have also been confirmed, and in this respect I have updated the various lists to reflect this latest information, which is detailed as follows:-
Unfortunately, many of the previous links to pages which used assumed product numbers, no longer work. I am still updating the site so hope to rectify this over the coming days. 1st July 2025
