 This picture needs a second look. This Dart SLF is now preserved in the UK and was pictured at the Bristol Rally in Brislington in July 2016. Dave Rogers, a big Hong Kong bus fan has added to his collection of Asian buses by acquiring 2066 (HY8116) it, not from the former Crown colony, but First Devon & Cornwall. It is believed it forst went into service in the UK with First Berkshire as 40956 (S344SUX) after removal of its centre doors. Dave's restoration has entailed reinstating the extra entrance.

 Whereas Darts from 2043 onwards were 10.1m, the preceding 2001-2042 were 10.7m long and 2018 (HV6963), at least, had this "Skybreaker" advertising panel above the windows when seen in August 2001. |
|
 Another 10.7m Dart SLF, 2033 (HV6769) was advertising in a different style for Stanley Plaza when seen at North Point Bus Station in April 2012. |
