Seen in 1979 on the last Hillingdon Showbus Road run is 267 (JVV267G) at that time still a member of the Northampton Borough Transport fleet. It was the last traditionally built Daimler CVG6/Roe doubledecker and survived in the fleet well beyond its expected life time. The bus is now preserved.

Here at Millennium Showbus 154 is seen alongside 267.
|
Serving alongside 267 were large batches of Alexander bodied Bristol VRs which altered the fleet from being 100% Daimler CVG. Bristol 40 (PBD40R) is seen here climbing Windsor Castle Hill on the Showbus Jubilee Road Run in 1977. Behind, painted silver, is National Travel South East's ex East Kent open topper and an ex Wilts & Dorset LD, a mobile showroom for Image Cards, follows.

 Arriving at the Long Marston SHOWBUS in 2013 is CVG6 267. Picture ref 13-5314 |
 Long Marston presented an all too rare opportunity to see the two preserved Northampton CVG6 buses together, 246 (BNH246C) is nearer the camera whilst younger 267 (JVV267G) is alongside. Dating from the Corporation era, 246 bears the borough's coat of arms, whereaas 267 does not. Picture ref A0344 |
