It was constructed exclusively on the Dennis Dart SLF as a replacement for the Caetano Compass.

[2] A common design is that most of these buses have a double-curvature windscreen and a separately mounted destination display with an arched top.

During 2002 a shorter and narrower version called the Slimbus was developed, the principal customer being MyBus who required small buses because of size restrictions on Jersey, purchasing a total of 52 by 2007.

Some Slimbuses went to CT Plus in London as well as National Car Parks for airport shuttle work, some of which later materialised with Island Coachways in Guernsey.

Those that were not retained in Jersey were shipped to a UK dealer which later sold them to the FirstGroup.
