Reading Buses did have an ADL Enviro400 (no. 1208) which was repainted in 2016 into an approximation of 1986 livery to mark 30 years of Reading Buses as a standalone company (although still 100% Council-owned). A few modifications were made to the livery in 2017 to commemorate 25 years since Reading Buses' acquisition on Bee Line's Newbury operations in 1992, which became Newbury Buses. The vehicle was subsequently painted into Green Line livery when Reading Buses took on route 702 at the end of 2017.

I think that Stagecoach South still own a bus that is painted in the original Stagecoach livery. However it is only used for special events.

I am sure there is a bus in the old Doncaster livery as well, but I have never seen it.
