Yes I know it's out of our area, but did anyone see the news about the riots in the NW China province of Xin Xiang? It showed a bus being stoned. This single decker had the front (under the windscreen) which looked just like the Wrightbus design.

Well after all, they do have an extremely lot of Volvo B10TL Wright Explorer's over there as well as loads of other intresting bus design's. They also have tri-axle Leyland and Volvo Olympians of which 50% of the Leyland Olympians are now in England.

I doubt that would have been a wrightbus in Xin Xiang Province! The British-produced/bodied Volvo and Dennis buses are only found around the Hong kong Island which is the only part with right-hand vehicles in China. Also, I've not heard about any export of such a wrightbus to Hong Kong with left-hand drive to Main-land china.
I have seen some similar buses that look like a wrightbus design but are not wright, so it could be one of them.

This bus looked nothing like a Wrightbus derived vehicle, except for the bottom front. I reckon somebody liked it and decided to copy it. Seems they like to copy designs, yet call them their own!
