Hello,
My name is Matthew Mallia, I am sending this photo hoping that somebody can help me with any information on my bus. This is all I know, It was manufactured by White and was labled White Super Power, we think it is a 1958 model but don't have any records of previous ownership.
It has orange coloured steel framework with a plywood floor which used to be covered with vinyl squares, the roof is steel & it was originaly a creamy eggshell colour, fibreglass surrounds the windows & it is aluminum below the windows, the bottom half of the buses original colour was a maroony red & it had a pale blue pin stripe. We bought the bus from Gosford (just north of Sydney NSW) where we found it in a paddock in the industrial area. We found the owner and offered the sale, he was getting old & the RTA would not reissue his drivers licence, even though he had not considered it before he said yes. We have heard that 6 years prior us, the bus was found on a property at Somersby near Gosford Australia & used to be owned & used by a football club. So if there is anyone who knows anything about my bus please feel free to let me know , Thank you,
Matthew Mallia (Australia)
