An undoubted Optare devotee, Wilts & Dorset boasted the largest fleet of the stylish Spectra doubledecker in the country. These were built to a low-height specification for a fleet that operated in an area of lowbridges. Spectra 3120 (L120ALJ) is seen arriving at Showbus 97, to feature alongside the rally's Optare display.
