Flxible Clipper buses

I drove down to Wagga Wagga in January this year and I think on the road north from Wellington to Dubbo there was a Clipper for sale @ $15000. Had a broken offside windscreen. From memory it was at the side of a business with two other vehicles for sale and may have been a motorhome.

Hi All,

Do take a look at the Driver Coaches(?) Clipper in the video for "Love is the bridge" by Little River Band. Song was approx 1988 vintage and Glen Shorrock had hair!

Can't link it on to here but put song title in your search and it comes up. Enjoy...!

Cheers

A couple more I found (same source as the previous ones from Israel):



Somewhere in Israel, judging from the vegetation proably on the Mediteranean side.



Upon reaching Eilat, with the IDF escort.



and one from the US as a mobile TV broadcasting centre.

Last pic from the net.

Cheers,

Pioneer ran lots of USA-derivative designs, presumably all built by Ansair: Scenicruisers (1960s?), MC6s, MC8s.

The only license built American design built by Ansair and operated by Pioneer was the Flxible Clipper, The Scenicruiser (Toroflow....Horrorflow....) with American style lantern front was essentially a local design incorporating windscreen elements of a then current GM bus. The glasses were sourced from GM in America.

Pioneer's PD4106's and 4107's as well as the later MCI variants were all fully imported.

Thanks for the MC6/MC8 correction. I do have photos, but they will warrant their own thread.
