Withdrawn from service in December 1959 it spent time at the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum It received a replacement body donated by FS 8584, a 1934 AEC Regal 4, which was found in a shed somewhere in Wales and this was used to restore the bus to its current excellent condition. Since its restoration it has had a few owners but came to Goodwins by October 2022. One of its first outings was to take part in the funeral of Ronnie Stubbs who was part of a family that had operated buses in Gorton, Manchester and when the business ceased Ronnie went to work with Wes Goodwin as they had been friends for many years, The bus now carries a a tribute to Ronnie’s memory. Apparently it had been intended to give the Tiger the York Motors identity. This was the company that founder Alan first worked for. It does have their emblem below the driver's screen.
