The Alexander Sprint-bodied Mercedes-Benz 709 became the Stagecoach Group standard minibus, although other types came with acquired businesses. K118 XHG was new to Ribble Motor Services and carries branding for the Zippy minibus network that had been acquired from United Transport and competed with Preston Buses in the Preston area. This digital recreation is based on a preserved AA buses Alexander Sprint photographed at the Scottish Bus Museum in 2019, but please note the inaccuracies mentioned in the comment below (19-Dec-20).
