Mount Cook Denning - In 1974 Mount Cook Coachlines imported two Denning buses. Mount Cook Landlines and Alan B Denning & Associates Pty Ltd of Queensland Australia entered into an agreement for Alan Denning to design coaches to be constructed by Mt Cook Group in Christchurch. The first buses were delivered in 1977.

These coaches were somewhat larger than those previously operated by Mount Cook. Between 1980 and 1984 I lived near the Basin Reserve in Wellington. Often on a Saturday morning while having a lie in I would hear the deep throaty roar of the Detroit Diesel powered MCD coach as it came round the Basin Reserve on its way to Mt Cook's Courtenay Place office to begin the daily service from Wellington to Auckland. Eat your hearts out Intercity - no Volvo ever made a noise as sexy as this.

Apart from 528 which started life with De Luxe Travel Lines in Blenheim all buses were supplied new to Mt Cook Group.

Model Numbers Mount Cook Denning had an inconsistent method of assigning model numbers to their buses.
