VTH941T was new to South Wales in August 1978 and was new with Leyland 0501 engine. She spent a lot of her time her in several overall advertising liveries including SWT Tours, National Travelworld and Travelwise. During her time wearing the National Travelworld advert she would have resembled East Kent 7656 which also wore this and is detailed later in the collection. Withdrawn by South Wales in July 1990, she later passed to Eastern National as 3219 and was allocated to Harwich and Clacton. In 1996 she passed to subsidiary Essex Buses where she was re-engine with the current Gardner 6LXB unit.
In 2004 she was withdrawn from service and entered a new life in preservation. Preserved in the striking yellow and green Eastern National livery she made a great visual impact. In July 2016 she was acquired by Robin Harrison and joined his growing collection of vehicles.
