Highland Omnibuses T15, 873WTW, was new as a Ford demonstrator in 1961 and was acquired by R Drysdale, Cupar in July 1964.
In February 1968, the Drysdale business was acquired by Alexander (Fife) but 873 WTW and two other vehicles were not numbered in the Alexander (Fife) fleet, instead being immediately transferred to Highland. It was withdrawn in 1975 and went to Kelbie (dealer), Turriff, in 1976.

Reading the thread under the other photo of T15 on the site I can confirm that 1139/302 was the true body number for this vehicle and that the confusion seems to have arisen due to a typographical error in the Highland Omnibuses PSV Circle fleet history, which incorrectly gives it as 1139/202. References to '838WTW' should also be ignored in that thread.
