How long since we had 6-wheelers though, or even one with as little
as 97hp?

They still are 6-wheeler, but only on 2 axles. Most buses since the 1930s
have had 4 wheels on their rear axles. The last 3-axle 6-wheelers were
the pre-war LTs and trolleybuses.

Do the tour vehicles that run on some regular routes count as buses ?
some of those are former Hong Kong 3 axle buses imported back here.

3-axle coaches have become quite common recently. But they are 8-wheelers.
