Barton 772, NOR511, was an AEC Reliance MU3RV with Duple Elizabethan C43F bodywork which had been new to Creamline Motor Services (Bordon) Ltd, Bordon, in March 1955, and acquired by Barton in 1957.
It previously sported a roof luggage rack, as evidenced in the other view of the same vehicle on this, site.
In December 1969 the Duple body was removed and scrapped and the chassis rebuilt as a Barton BTS2 (with a new chassis number) and rebodied with a new Plaxton Panorama Elite C45F body, one of ten AEC Reliance MU3RV so treated. The resultant vehicle was re-registered YRR 508H and numbered 1130 in the Barton fleet.

It was sold to Arlington (dealer), Potters Bar in July 1974 and saw further service with Everton Coaches Ltd, Droitwich (from May 1975), Jones (Caelloi Motors), Pwllheli (from March 1976) and RG Owen (Nefyn Coaches) (from May 1983). It was withdrawn by Owen in September 1984 and was last recorded with Wacton Trading/Coach Sales (dealer), Bromyard in August 1985.
