One of our three Bandicoot touring mini-coaches is offered for sale.

It's a 2010 Deluxe Rosa, refitted with luxury Australian-made reclining coach seats. Originally a cramped 24 seater (like all Rosa buses from the factory), it now takes 21 passengers with much more comfort. Has averaged only 20,000kms p.a. Asking 46K including GST.

Please message if interested.
