English: Routemaster bus RM2107 (reg. CUV 107C) was delivered to London Transport in January 1965. It was withdrawn from service in August 1986 and went on to see further use in the Clydeside Scottish fleet (C82). They aqcuired it via Scottish Bus Engineering, who fitted with Leyland engine. In August 1990 it was sold to dealer PVS of Carlton, Barnsley, who immediately sold it to Blue Triangle. In July 1992 it was purchased for preservation. Initially rallied at Showbus in faded Clydeside livery and a Leyland radiator grille badge, it underwent restoration work at the Routemaster Heritage Trust's premises in the former Twickenham bus garage, eventually being turned out in London Buses red/white/yellow roundel livery with a yellow cantrail stripe and still with a Leyland grille badge, again rallied at Showbus. In 1999 it passed to the executive bus & coach hire company International Coaches Ltd. For the Queen's Golden Jubilee, it was painted in gold with INTERNATIONAL COACHES LTD fleetnames and a 50 years Elizabeth II 1952-2002 motiff at the upper front sides. By this time at some point it had also been fitted with doors on its rear platform. By September 2004 it had been fitted with an Iveco engine. In 2006 it re-entered preservation, eventually being repainted in classic London Transport livery. In 2009 it passed to www.routemastersforhire.co.uk, being used on private hire work such as weddings in and around London.
