In 2003 the BA National 2 was repainted in traditional Provincial livery to celebrate the the company's 125th anniversay, even though by then the operation has been submerged into the First empire. Preserved Provincial 432 (NLP389V) is seen at the five years on at the 2008 Royal Victoria Rally at Netley Park.

172 (L172TRV) was part of the Provincial fleet formed by First. It combined the
People's Provincial operation with the Red and Blue Admiral fleets in the Portsmouth
area inherited from Harry Blundred's Transit Holdings. This Iveco/Marshall
was originally with Admiral and is seen here on
Southsea seafront.
