DL932 (932GTA) "Earl Howe"

New to Devon General in 1961 as DL932 “Earl Howe” and served with them until passing to Devon General Ltd. upon deregulation.
It lost its name in 1980 when it became one of two Atlanteans to receive uni-bus ad’s for the Rainbow Hotel (the other was DL918).
Withdrawn in 1983, it was sold to East Yorkshire Motor Services and passed directly into preservation in 1989.
It is the only one of the nine to retain its original destination box layout and is currently owned by Bob Folwell.
