[SBST] Unrefurbished - Volvo B7RLE Demonstrator SBS8030L Complete Showcase

Maxson Goh Films the one and only Volvo B7RLE MKII Demonstrator bodied by Soon Chow and operated by SBS Transit in Singapore. This is definitely my favorite bus of all time, thanks to the bold supercar style front and the very unique conference style seating arrangement at the rear. All of the unique features of the bus will be featured in this video.
From my understanding, this bus rarely leaves the depot for service, so spotting it will be a rare encounter. All clips in this video were filmed on the 5th of December from 4pm-8pm.
In 2007, SBS Transit received a new single-deck WAB demonstrator from Volvo, at a time when a large number of single-deck orders were being considered. Registered as SBS8030L this B7RLE is a Mark II model, powered by Euro IV-compliant Volvo D7E290 engine (7,148cc) and fitted with the automatic ZF 6HP592C Ecomat transmission. The EDS unit was supplied by Coolair and air-conditioning was from Denso of Japan.
The bus is unique in several aspects - the rear section has a round-about seating rather than the standard 5-seater bench, Pico modular seating, and a vibrant white interior as compared to the majority of K230UBs. Soon Chow, who was a major customer for SBS in the 80s, has shown to have reinvented itself with a very bold and elegant design - such that the fans dubbed it "The Transformer"! It was also the first bus to feature two granny seats at the front section of the bus - till the arrival of the Euro EEV K230UBs.

Is 2024 the back seat is still coolest thing I seen in the bus

[@epictheepicguy]

the front and the headlight make me think this is one good bus. The headlights and low bumper look like those from the double deck buses in malaysia to singapore. Most of the operators are Aeroline, Transnasional and more. ( thoses 2 are the only i can remember :p )
