Eventually Alder Valley bought coach seated VRs for both the Reading - London services and those from the former Aldershot & District area. Seen at Aldershot depot is 930 (HPK506N), a VRTSL2 with Gardner power.
Eventually Mark 3 VRs appeared in NBC DP livery as this contrasting pair at Victoria Coach Station shows.
The DP VR is 932 (LPF595P), one of two delivered at the end of 1975, it was followed by another pair (933 & 934) early in 1976.
VR 928 (LBL587L) was one of the trio of Mark 2 VRs delivered new to Alder Valley. They were the first Mark 2 VRs for the company and the first delivered in the new NBC livery. The bus was the one displayed at the forerunner of SHOWBUS, the Brunel University Festival in 1973. It is seen here later in life as an all over advert for Ford dealer Maidenhead Autos.

A little more incongruous is this view of the Maidenhead Autos VR in Newbury depot some 30 plus miles from Maidenhead.
