Current State:Undergoing restoration
Little history has yet been uncovered for this vehicle, but it entered service at Palmers Green garage in 1923, and lasted just over 11 years in service, before being withdrawn in 1934. As was required at the time, the bus was overhauled every year, these overhauls all being carried out at Chiswick, with the last overhaul carried out in January 1934.

This vehicle is at present undergoing a full rebuild to its 1927 status, which includes solid tyres, an open cab and no roof.
