 Seen in South Yarra in February 2021 is this PMC bodied Leyland Tiger. The surviving 707 destination blind identifies it as a former Ventura bus, but the non-bus rego 1JE9VP does not helpto idenitfy it. Lettering on the side says it belongs to boozebus.com.au, now a defunct website. As it was seen in the midst of the pandemic it must have been struggling for customers!

 This 1986 PMC Commuter bodied Leyland Tiger was seen in March thirty years later at Stonestreet's Toowoomba depot. The bus is their 47 (447LNK) and was Ventura's 26 (2526AO, FRW026, DAQ026).

 Murtons of Broken Hill operated this PMC bodied Leyland Tiger with an interesting past. Believed to be ordered by Ventura, but probably notoperated by them, the bus arrived from Crossley who acquired it from Sydney Buses where it had been numbered 3599 (MO1033) when STA took over North & Western. When seen in November 2013 it was near the end of its days as 6 (4046MO). Picture ref A1252 |
 Sister vehicle 8 (4040MO) had reached the end of its days, languishing at the depot minus rego plates. This Tiger had been Ventura 111 (2611AO) and, unlike 6, went direct to Murtons from Melbourne. Picture ref A1245 |
