On home territory in Oxford is an example of a then new Plaxton Panther bodied Volvo B12B, 95 (EE08OXF) seen in May 2008.
 
Delivered the year before, just in time for SHOWBUS 2007 was similar 86 (FB07OXF), which deservedly had a prime spot in the display in the afternoon.
 
In the morning of SHOWBUS 86 had participated in the Double Gold Run from Trumpington to Duxford, celebrating Plaxton's centenary. It is seen as part of the procession of Plaxton coaches traversing the site on arrival at the Imperial War Museum.
 
Plaxton Panther 85 (EB07OXF) is not all it seems, it is seen in central London late in 2010, some way from Heathrow or Gatwick. For operational reasons it had been switched to cover an "espress" journey between the two cities, hence the destination display "london oxford in style".
 
Two of the Plaxton Panther fleet are seen in Heathrow Central Bus Station, both Oxford bound in early winter 2010. Departing is 84 (DB07OXF), whilst 87 (GB07OXF) pulls on to the stand.
