Cardiff did flirt with the Volvo B6 with Alexander Dash bodywork before standardising on the Plaxton/Dart. Volvo 027 (N27OBO) is seen in Cardiff Bus station before departing on an out of city service to Penarth.

Plaxton Verde bodywork was an interesting choice for Cardiff Bus and unusually on Scania N113CRB chassis - particularly as they were contemporary with the Leyland Lynxes purchased. Equally strange was the repainting of 286 (J286UWO) in the orange livery in 2002.

Leyland Lynxes 231 (F231CNY) and 253 (G253HUH) are a pair of Mark I models in service in Cardiff in the early nineties.

Cardiff also bought some of the later Leyland Lynx 2 models and one, 267 (J267UDW) has been saved for preservation. It is seen at the Barry Island bus display at the island museum's running day in June 2016.
