There is company in Auckland to use that color, called Birkenhead. -- Last edit: 2013-03-20 01:12:03

When I typed in "bedford nzmb" on google, this one popped up http://www.flickr.com/photos/29544389@N02/5837482004/in/photostream , which seems to be not too far off. I don't say the above bus is neither a VAM or a NZMB, but it gave me something to think about. More investigation is nessesary
