 There is only one Leyland Olympian in New Zealand...ex Ribble 2177 C177ECK, the 1985 Leyland Olympian that the Salvation Army in Winton. Southland, New Zealand now owns as a Mobile Youth Centre / Support vehicle. The vehicle would probably have got no further than the dockside in NZ unless a small group of people had not had the determination to see the vehicle into use such were the problems of accepting this bus in the country. Seen in November 2006.
