This is a special model taxi version, not a fleetline just a bus. It has a back door for each row of rear seats to aid passengers. There was a feature on one of these 8-10 years ago in camper and commercial.
That had a split front end, this is just a later bus. Nice though if a but of a mongrel.

Yep, theres flleetlines and theres fleetlines, I had a one family owner 37000 miler a few years back, bay window front and front doors after that backwards it was a split bus, BUT it had traditional split doors ie a left and a right pair rather than the arrangement you see here, which I actually like although not ideal as a camper, and it had the usual single windows without those nifty sliders you see on this one, very cool, assuming you can get hold of replacement seals. Also much of the running gear was from a split , oh and they did a 1976 fleetline... that was a splitty!

I actually love this odd ball, and if i didnt have two on the go already I'd seriously consider buying it so there.

I would actually prefer cargo doors to the slider for camping. OK, so the doors get in the way of the cab door when open, but you can mount cupboards/cooker on the inside of the cargo doors, and it doesn't make a row first thing in the morning when you get up to go for a wazz, and it doesn't rip the awning skirt that's attached to the side of the van!
