Ipswich's Scania Omicity 74 (YN56NVF) is seen arriving at SHOWBUS on the Sunday morning. It was later to be found in the "stalls on board" area behind a mountain of bus paraphernalia on sale for charity.

A dubious purchase by Chesterfield in 1969 was a batch of nine Leyland Panthers bodied by Northern Counties. Though these early rear engined singledeckers were deemed unreliable and had relatively short lives with their first owners, 93 (ENU93H) is still going strong under the care of Lee Roddis. The bus is viewed amidst the crowds thronging the stalls from the top deck of Rally Control.

In a similar colour scheme was one of two Eastern Scottish Alexander Y types at SHOWBUS. S847 (ESC847S) is a Seddon Pennine VII seen as it leaves the event.
