Between 1986 and 1989 Auckland, New Plymouth, Wellington and Christchurch all purchased MAN SL202 buses with CWI B45+27D bodies.
The bodies are the German "Stadt 80" design.
For New Plymouth and Christchurch these were the last buses purchased before privatisation. The buses are all equipped with ZF automatic transmissions.
Those for Auckland, Christchurch and New Plymouth have 5 speed transmissions.
The Wellington buses have 4 speed ZF transmissions and a lower differential ratio. While this means they perform well on the hills they have a maximum top speed of 75kph.
No. 1729 started service life as one of 69 Auckland Regional Council buses (numbered 1689-1757) of this model that all passed to Transportation Auckland Corporation Ltd, which operated as Yellow Bus Co. on 12/6/1991. In 1998 this became Stagecoach Auckland.
The numbers followed on from the earlier MAN SL200 buses delivered in 1981 to 1985 and numbered 1601-1688.
