Just a quick walk through of my 1993 Volvo B10M MK3 with Volgren body affectionately known as “Vivian the Volvo”.
I was just doing a final walk through prior to the final clean before its first run in late June with “North Coast Charters” my Charter and Party Bus Business, It’s now back in service after My 1989 Volvo B10M blew it’s engine at 1.7 million kilometres in March 2024.
Originally from Melbourne as Grenda’s “53”, Later Transdev Sydney’s “9116” 30 years in service between 1993 and 2023 between the 2 operators.
I purchased it in May 2024 for a grand total of $3300 from Transdev and drove it the 400km from Sydney to Port Macquarie and it didn’t miss a beat.

Nice walkthrough. That’d be Grenda’s, not Grenada’s though 😅 Absolute bargain for it’s condition. Keep us updated!

Don’t you just hate when Auto correct kicks in (Dang iPhone), All fixed. All the RGB LED party lights are being hidden stealthily, So it looks standard and clean by day and party by night. I’m extremely happy for $3300 and that came included a full tank of Diesel, Which is 300 litres worth. As well as 2x brand new Bridgestone front tyres which are around $700 each. Drove it the 400km home had it running for 7 odd hours (normally a 4.5 hour run in the car but was stopping on a regular basis to do a walk around). All up it only used 170 litres of Diesel for highway and city driving, That worked out an an average of 33L/100km. Without the stops and idling it’d probably have been closer to 30L/100km, Giving roughly a 800 - 1000km range per tank pending on how it’s driven and conditions.

@@venturabus01She’s still got plenty of life and love left to give in her, Her future is safe for the foreseeable future. Unless something disastrous happens like it’s in an accident and written off, Once I’ve finished with it Commercially for My Business She’ll join “Vinnie the Volvo” My 1989 Volvo B10M in Preservation. As I love the days of old where buses had Character, Where kids and adults alike could enjoy and look forward to the variety of buses. Thankfully I finished school 20 odd years back, Given the 25 year age rule here in NSW. My School buses with Blue Mountains Bus Co would range from a 1980 to 2005, Which gave a great variety. In the mornings We might have had a 1983 Hino BG300 with PMC body, In the Afternoon We might have had the brand new 2005 MAN MIDI I think 15.230 with the Custom Coaches CB30 body. Personally I love the older buses compared to the new units which seem to have lost their character and seem to be more a cut and paste job then anything else. New buses are great but personally I get more excited over say a Denning Landseer compared to a Volgren Optimus bodied bus.
