ProgRocker Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 @junkyarddog mentioned the Vauxhall Victor FE estate. I always thought that the American Motors Corp (AMC) Hornet Sportabout bore a strong resemblance to them from the side. Vauxhall: AMC: http://www.stationwagonfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/1974_amc_hornet_1.jpg Also, note the door handles on the AMC. I think BL stole the design for them for the Marina! chaseracer and lesapandre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyland Worldmaster Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Leyland Worldmaster said: Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 and Cannon of Strabane Midibus. I should provide some context. The Cannon bus was launched with almost identical styling in around 2013. This was some time after the Enviro 200 was launched. The Cannon was rather controversial as it appeared to be built using E200 spare parts. From memory, some parts (glass) even had Adl branding. Much to the chagrin of ADL, hence the rather clumsily re-styled Cannon seen above. I don't know what happened to the Cannon. Not sure it even entered service as I cannot find information on it now... 🤓 lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's reckoned the original Cannon E200 clone is in New Zealand. Leyland Worldmaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's reckoned the original Cannon E200 clone is in New Zealand. Thankyou very much this information! An (albeit cursory) search bought up only a few pictures; none of them the original 'clone' bus. I think the underframe was notably different including Independent Front Suspension. I might be completely wrong about this though... 👍 👍 👍 😎 😎 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
