History of SYT 2457 (C877JWE)
C877JWE is a member of the final batch of standard Dominators that were
delivered at the end of 1985. Its chassis number is DDA910/876. It was the
only batch of Dominators delivered new in the SYT livery of Cameo, Red and
Brown. This vehicle was also used in service on the last Dominator day on
the 24th June 2006. Whilst still in service, this vehicle, along with the rest of
the batch had the Rolls Royce engine removed and replaced with a Gardner
6LXB unit. This latter was much more economical than the Rolls unit. Its time in preservation has not been a happy
one it was the subject of a vandal
attack in 2008, where a number of the
windows were smashed. The restoration is set to start after a recent change of owner.
