It is now a member of the seven-strong Teesside500 Group collection of preserved vehicles from the Teesside area, which also include 1958 former Middlesbrough Corporation Dennis Loline JDC 599, which has Northern Counties bodywork, and 1967 former Teesside Railless Traction Board Leyland PD2/Roe, JVN 40E.

“We are grateful to Stagecoach for enabling us to buy the MAN,” said Group Chairman Bill Woodward. “It now means we have a low-floor vehicle and a single-decker bus in the fleet, which is very useful.”

The MAN is to retain its Stagecoach ‘beach ball’ livery.
