First Hampshire & Dorset: 32202 MIG 8433 [LT52 WTG]
One of the once strong batch of Volvo B7TL, Plaxton Presidents that once plied their trade in West Cornwall for Land's End. It's fair to say they were very battle worn towards the end, all the 'MIG' plates moved to Dorset for the 2023 season, only one gained the excellent Jurassic Coaster livery, and it certainly suits the President bodywork.
2024 and MIG 8433 survives as the sole example of this type not only in Dorset but with First still in service. In this view the intended open top had failed if I recall and MIG 8433 was pressed to cover the last run to Bridport and as a result is a good 30 minutes late on the scenic climb up Abbotsbury Hill. MIG tended to have a X50 diagram the week I visited and the only variation I saw it do. I did sample it on the X52 the previous summer.
