LN51 DBV an 8.8m Dennis Dart SLF Marshall Capital B25F
(with restyled rear and Marshall Capital 2/MCV Sterling front which was done at Stafford Bus Centre after the bus was either in an RTA, or stripped for other buses)

They're selling it on ebay as they were "was awarded a contract, bought the bus then contract was taken back."

150 i presume

It is a MCV Evolution front end and as far as I know these were just a refurbishment package offered and nothing to do with accidents or stripping for spares.

That particular one did not have a front end when it arrived at Stafford Bus centre, There used to be pictures (possibly on fotopic) when it arrived from first.
Travel de Courcey bought a small number of them and this one was the only one which recieved such treatment (not sure about the rear) due to it now having the front lower half.

Yes Andy. The 150.

There are a few other Marshalls with similar treatment however, Invincible down in the West Midlands had one and I think Grant Palmer have had one or two also.

yes, and it does improve their appearance greatly!
