Buslistsontheweb.co.uk confirms there were only 8, so this is definitely a good example.Single deck dominators weren't exactly common, especially the less than pretty ELC bodied ones. A couple for Barrow in Furness, and 6 for Hartlepool.
I counted 28, but that's getting away from being rare.There were more bodied by Marshall, but even then only around 30 I think?
I think this one might have been mentioned earlier in the thread. It's listed as a B57 but the engine was re-positioned to give it a mid-engined layout, thereby making it a B7M (unofficially). It's certainly an interesting vehicle. I don't have it to hand, but the book I referred to in the opening post contains a paragraph about it and states that the owner experienced some teething troubles with it but, once the problems were resolved, they wanted more!Staying with East Lancs, Raisbeck motors ran a rare, if not unique Volvo B57? East Lancs bus in Bedlington (B212 JTY).

Another rare type (in the UK at least) was the Volvo C10M, an integral coach built by Swiss coachbuilders Ramsier & Jenzer. BLOTW lists 10 examples; 1 demonstrator, 1 for Seamarks, 1 for Parry's, 2 for Wallace Arnold and the remaining 5 went to Park's.
