Liverpool developed a very idiocyncratic approach to bus design after the second world war and bought many batches of buses to their own specification rather than the chassis or body builders standard offerings. In 1957-58, sixty AEC Regent V D3RV with MCW body were bought.

In April 1974 on the formation of the West Yorkshire PTE, the Bradford City Transport fleet was renumbered by the addition of 2000 to the fleet number. Initially renumbering used the traditional gold transfers until the supplies of number 2 ran out after which many buses were carefully signwritten with gold paint in the correct style but without black edging. This practice soon ceased however and once supplies of the Halifax style numbers were available many blue buses received white (and in some cases black) small front numbers.
