Dominant Bus gets the Maltese treatment.
Customised in the way only the Maltese seem to be able to do is this Dominant Bus bodied Ford R1014. Much better to tell intending passengers what lies beneath the bonnet, rather than where the bus is going! I plucked this shot out to go with a comment made by 'preselected' on my posting of the Bedford Dominant bus a few pictures ago. EBY 595 at the time of this shot in 2003 appears to be Leyland powered ... as was the vast majority of the island's 'fleet' at the time. The Leyland 400 series and it's derivatives had become the engine of choice as supplies of AEC 505s began to dry up.
