 In the summer of 2004, Vodafone held a big party for its workforce at Blenheim Palace. Copelands Tours' Plaxton Paramount 3200 bodied DAF MIB302 is seen lined up with many of the coaches from the south, west and midlands that brought partygoers to the event. |
 A couple of weeks before SHOWBUS international 2016 Barton's held an Open Day at their old Chilwell premises. Plaxton Paramount 3200 bodied DAF MB230 648 (E648DAU) made its first public appearance since its return to the Barton family. Amazingly it is the same coach as MIB302 above. Copelands had its Plaxton body modernised giving it something of a Setra look. The sides of the DAF are covered in old pictures of Barton's operation. It joins sisters 645 and 647 in preservation.

 At Blenhim Palace Leyland Tiger MIB542 was another Plaxton coach from the Staffordshire based firm, this time a taller Paramount 3500. |
 Also at Blenheim Palace, MIB236 was one of a pair of Van Hool bodied DAFs present from Copelands. |
 A second DAF/Van Hool MIB516 was coach 129 at the event, this was no small party. |
