|Description=Former Merseyside 0087 C844OBG, A Locomoters-bodied Quest 80 seen at Showbus.

|Description={{en1=A preserved example of an early accessible midibus design, the 1985 built Type B chassis, pictured at Showbus. The Type B was manufactured by Quest 80 of Telford and bodied by Locomotors of Andover, and featured a kneeling capability with an extending ramp in its single door (front). Originally new to Merseyside PTE but never used, it's seen here in the colours of Sovereign Bus & Coach who were one of its later owners briefly in 1990. The roofline message ''Unity 70 with help from Sovereign Bus'' refers to the fact they passed it to the north London based Unity 70 disabled childrens charity, who operated in this guise until 1990, until withdrawing and storing it. It was bought for preservation from storage in 2008.
