Thank you for the information guys.

I thought it was rather odd that two year old vehicles were sold so quickly and shipped such a great distance, but selling them due to raising capital and suffering reliability issues makes sense. I suspect that they were sold for an excellent price.

One of the first things that had to be changed in these vehicles in order to obtain their compliance certificate was that the spacing between passenger seats needed to be increased. There still isn't much room for disabled/elderly seating however.

Here's former fleet number 30618 (AE60GPZ) in her new livery, but still sporting a single door.



Enjoy  ;D

All the MAN's (MCV) got transferred to New Zealand and i believe all of Rotala's MCV's are following suit as I know the ones off the x30 have gone from the route.

Hi Everyone,

These MCV's have entered service in NZ and I wondered what the exact reason for the sale was? From what I've read on here the Super 16 Branded vehicles were unreliable, but what about the others?

All of these are now painted white and those that are running urban services are having rear doors fitted, while those that run School services are staying as single door vehicles.
