New as ACTION 509 (ZIB509) in 1977, this CAC bodied MAN SL200 is seen with Kingsford Smith Transport in Sydney in August 2004 near their airport area depot. The bus had two intermediate owners: Panorama Coaches, Deane of Queanbeyan. Not long after 52 (KS2217) was photographed it was sold for non-PSV use. |

Kingsford Smith Transport also acquired several of ACTION's Ansair bodied Renault PR100.2 buses, but not direct from ACTION as already seen on page 1. This Renault, 52 (TV5861), also came from Hawkesford's International, where it was 97 (TV5861), but it also spent time with Busabout in Wagga Wagga as MO6274, but was new to ACTION in 1988 as 772 (BUS772). It is seen here in Coogee in November 2016.

Sid Fogg of Newcastle bought a number of the articulated PR180.2 models at auction in 2013. Though Renaults built in France, they were badged as MACK. Here are B8 (TV3764), B6 (TV6067) and B7 (TV7082) lined up in the yard in March 2016. These were also bodied by Ansair back in 1988 as ACTION 707 (BUS707), 985 (BUS985) and 721 (BUS721), respectively.
