Provincial Leyland National 2 125
In 2003 the ex BA National 2 was renumbered 125 and repainted in traditional Provincial livery to celebrate the company's 125th anniversay, even though by then the operation had been submerged into the First empire. Preserved 125 is seen five years on at the 2008 Royal Victoria Rally at Netley Park.

Provincial Iveco 59.12 Marshall 172
Iveco 59.12 172 (L172TRV) was part of the Provincial fleet formed by First. It combined the People's Provincial operation with the Red and Blue Admiral fleets in the Portsmouth area inherited from Harry Blundred's Transit Holdings. This Iveco/Marshall was originally with Admiral and is seen here on Southsea seafront.
