Details: London Country Bus Services used an all-over yellow livery for its recovery vehicles, this perhaps being a National Bus Company standard. Seen in anonymous condition at Epsom Downs in June 1989, RTP209J was an AEC Matador that had been acquired in 1980 when it was already nine years old. It was assigned fleetnumber M3 and, when LCBS was split-up in 1986, it passed to London Country South West. The latter company was soon renamed to London and Country, and this name was later carried by M3, by then officially renumbered to A3. The eventual date of disposal is not known but is assumed to be in the early 1990s, and the vehicles appears to still survive somewhere, albeit now SORN (off the road).
