Some history of the model:
The Nissan Scorpion was a line of NZDM buses that were built and sold only in New Zealand between 1991-2001, back when Nissan Diesel had a factory over there. The SBR180 was the more popular model of the 2 models, the other being the RX102 (I’ll make a different suggestion for that another day).

145 SBR180’s were built before the factory closed in 2001. There aren’t that many Scorpions left in general, less than 100 overall I think.
As for the SBR180, if you live in France you may have a chance of seeing one, as 6 ended up being sold and exported to Airbus, after the bus company that owned them was going bankrupt and needed the cash. Airbus still use all 6 to this day.

I thought I was supposed to see a scorpion but I was wrong apparently.
