Stagecoach Selkent 36343, 10136, Brooklands Museum
Unveiled during the Brooklands event on the 13th April 2014, these buses were painted in heritage liveries that were previously used for buses from Selkent for the Year of the Bus celebrations.

This bus is liveried with the Dennis Lance livery used in the 1990s by Selkent. They were used on the 36B (Alexander-bodied examples) (now 136) and the 208 (Plaxton-bodied examples). After Kentish Bus decided to move the 227 to Stagecoach as part of a rationalisation deal, the Plaxton ones went to the 227 (and ended up in red). 36343 is liveried in this, appropriately blinded here for the 227!

The moquette inside it is spare Routemaster moquette, similar to the ones worn on the Dennis Lances.
Here are photos of it in service:

Also, 10136 was painted in the livery of L136 worn between 1990 and 1994

The original T136 was initially based at Plumstead, and throughout the time it wore the Tramway Centenary Livery it was at that garage. Only in 1995 did L136 end up at Catford Garage. In contrast, 10136 is a Catford bus for most of its life so far already!
