DMS2456 (OJD 456R) is the unique Fleetline, modified in accordance with the Ogle Designs specifications as a test-bed for the forthcoming batch of "L" Leyland Olympians for the London Transport AVE (Alternative Vehicle Evaluation) trials that took place in 1984.  She was purchased by Stuart Boxall from London Transport (through Gordon Lamming) in November 1991 when he was only 15 years old!

The bus has been off road for a number of years now, but is now happily undergoing restoration in preparation for a return to the rally scene.

DMS2456 remains united to her Leyland "B20" O.690 engine.
