This 1938 Exeter Corporation Leyland Tiger TS8 survives in the West of England Transport Collection at Winkleigh. Like many exhibits the Cravens bodied Tiger lives cheek by jowl with other members of the collection. The bus used to be 66 in the fleet bearing the mark of the devil, registration EFJ666.

 A more active life is the lot of 173 (JFJ873), a 1950 Daimler CVD6 with 35 seat Weymann body which appeared at SHOWBUS in 2001. |
 The classic machine next turned up at Duxford in 2009 and scored a pride of display space in front of the American Air Museum. |
 Back on home turf 173 was seen on display at a local event in September 2016.

 Ordered by Exeter for delivery in 1970 was this Marshall bodied Leyland Panther. After Exeter's fleet was taken over by Devon General the bus was delivered to them as 217 (TDV217J). It spent its later years as a mobile information office and is preserved as such in Exexter colours. It is seen at the 2003 Cobham gathering. |
