This is one of three National 2s bought as Dual-Purpose Single Decker for use on Private Contract Work, they also worked as service buses, when Stagecoach purchased Portsmouth Corporation in 1993 these buses moved away from Portsmouth and were based in Kent. This is one of only two left, one was written off after accident damage and the other only example had its DP Seats removed and replaced with standard bus seats.

This example has been restored to the original external condition known as the Starsky & Hutch Livery, was Sold for continued preservation in 2003 but subsequently reported as resold for use as a static caravan in the West Country.
