This vehicle was one of those purchased by London Transport in December 1979, it was given the stock number RMF 2768. The bus was stored at Victoria Docks with a variety of withdrawn vehicles.
It was transferred to Aldenham Works in February 1980. No use was ever found for it, so after removing various compatible parts, it was eventually sold to Wombwell Diesels of Barnsley for scrap in October 1981.
