So today we have something a bit special. As a quick sidenote, this isn’t related to my series of cars I own, which I probably won’t continue posting about too much due to some recent controversies that were caused by me talking about my highly abnormal life (Sidenote for the mods, dw, I will not be bringing it up again). Anyway, before I veer off, here are the photos, and btw, I don’t actually know the specs, no specsheets exist as far as I’m aware, but I will do some more research:
Now, I’m gonna start off by advising you guys to download these photos, since they are literally the ONLY photos of this bus that exist. You will not be able to find any other photos of it, other than on here, me making this topic is literally adding back to the internet. So, why do no photos of this bus exist? Well, because only 1 was ever built, making this on par with that street legal R33 LM for the rarest Nissan to exist, except this one is a completely unique chassis and body, and still gets used and isn’t hidden in a museum. So personally, to me the Collegiate is the rarest Nissan ever.
This bus has been on the school runs in the hands of different owners, the livery it’s in in the photos is the livery of it’s previous owner, since it was sold on Trade Me back in June for the mere price of $30k, to a private owner, who intends to keep the bus in good condition (thankfully not house bus it), as they collect buses, to keep them in existence (shoutout to that guy) quite cheap for something so rare aswell, I was certainly jealous!
Anyway, to answer one last thing, “Vic, how the hell did you get the photos if none exist?” Well, these were the images from the Trade Me listing, a few days prior to the bus being listed, I had done a solid 3 hours of research looking for an image, so ig it was a stroke of some really good luck. The listing was up for maybe a week before it was bought, and that was more than enough time for me to download the images. Anyway, enough of my yapping, that’s the actual rarest Nissan ever for ya!
