As the plate in the window shows, this Leyland Leopard was originally registered 6MPT. That plate is likely now legitimate fixed to a private car and the Plaxton Derwent bodied 55 seater now masquerades as ACU304B. The preserved bus is in the livery of The Eden of Bishop Auckland, but as the "6" registration suggests, it was new to Weardale Motor Sevices.

This impressive Plaxton Viewmaster, VLF6X, was new to Albatross of Brentford but is now in the fleet of Grove Coaches in Hertford. The Viewmaster was a high floor version of the Supreme IV and this one is built on a Volvo B58 chassis.

The Supreme body was succeeded by the Paramount in two main versions - the 3200 and high floor 3500. The 3500 replaced the Viewmaster option. This pair of Supreme 3200s are quite a contrast: on the left is David H Harrod Coaches of Downham Market's Dennis Javelin F882RFP and on the right from Merseyside is a Volvo B10M - originally with Wallace Arnold: F406DUG of Helms of Eastham.
