This is very similar to the Transport Wairarapa Ford now owned by Omnibus Society. NZ Motor Bodies also built hundreds of Bedford SB buses with similar chassis.

I am from Greymouth, New Zealand where I worked for Kennedy Bros as a mechanic, at that time we had 3 International buses, one Bedford and a petrol leyland which was ex Midland no 19.
In town there were Doug Coburn who had a 1038 White, it was a piecart in Timaru last i saw it, Doug also had 2 Bedfords, one which was built by West Coast Motor Bodies in Greymouth and what a nice bus it was.
