I can make out 3 Beetles and a Kombi. Anyone else?
Er... heres to Spook... If I recall the Atlantean is made by Leyland. :P
Sorry for being petty and lame.. couldnt help myself 
I grew up around them. My grandmother owned a bus fleet.
If I know nothing about nothing else, I know my double deckers.
hehe.... so you'd know thatyt Atlanteans were made by leyland then.. not VW... LOL 
Don't worry mate... I'm just yankin' yer chain... all good! :beer
I rather like buses myself too... not just the VW variety...
Well, they did have the engine in the back. Makes them more like a VW than the modern VW.s
I did buy back one of gran's fleet to do as a camper. If you want to start a domestic, come home with something 30 feet long & 14 feet high.
The TOP speed of 32mph put me off & a museum has it now.

Haha! I'd be game I think LOL
What museum?
I thinks I could handle a topspeed of 32... if not.. NOS!!!! then SLAM IT!!! MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!
It'd give even the Helbus a run for it's money...SCHWEEET!!!! :bounce
Ok, my source tells me, the correct spelling of bus in ‘70's pic is "Leyland Atlantean" the chassis of which comes from UK in 1969 a total of
224 where built for Sydney bus routes the 1St going into service 03.05.1970 from the Mona Vale depot.
Anyone know the bus driver's name?

No, I see I've mislead you here. Mine was not an atlantean, I had a 38 titan.
Last I heard of it a bloke had it stored for the historic commercial vehicle mob in Tempe. But seeing as the government want to sell their building
out from under them, they have problems of their own.
is that a notch I see.....? same lane as the beetles and 4 back from the two. :thumb

Stanley Butler!! Correct. Jeez you crack me up.
I reckon that's a Mini 4 back from the two.
There is another beetle right at the top of the pic on the far inside lane heading towards the camera. Hard to see in this reproduction of the pic.
Is it just me, or are there no Fords in this picture.
who can pick where in Sydney the pic is taken?
near the bridge somewhere is my guess, but I am a long way from a local.
if you sacn the pic at a higer res the detail will become clearer
