During a visit to HSUPS owned Hampshire Unit motor coach S60122 which is undergoing restoration at Rampart Engineering, Derby, a question mark over the true identity of the vehicle was revealed. It was purchased as 60122 from the unit number 205 023, formerly known as unit 1123. However, during preparation of the front end for repainting, removing successive layers of paint, the old unit number 1119 was revealed.
