Around Chiswick Works
Unlike the Metro Scania parked behind, MBS 217 was used a lot by Research & Development for various projects - and seems to be in this view taken on 12 September 1979. At this point the majority of the MB family had long departed from LT leaving just those used on Red Arrow routes but with these on borrowed time, the retention of MBS 217 for trialling projects would seem strange but it lasted a few more years with LT.
