This coach was new to Mortehoe and Woolacombe bus services, serving them for 13 years, and after a series of new owners was put into a barn and forgotten for 25 years. Found and rejuvenated by Martyn Babb in 1998, she continues in service with Blue Motors , being the coach of choice for TV and film work, as well as weddings and special occasions.
"Exmoor Delight"
- C930 LMW
- Year: 1985
- Mercedes 608/Plaxton Mini Supreme
- 23 seats
Only a handful of these coaches were built by Plaxton using the parts of their full size range fitted on the early but very reliable Merc chassis to create a spacious comfortable smaller vehicle with large panoramic windows. Delight has proved very popular with passengers, entering Blue Motors service in 2002, and continues to be the mainstay of the special Exmoor byways excursions provided by the Blue Motors.
"Exmoor Heather"
- AUP 651 L
- Year: 1973

She was transferred to Blue Motors of Blackpool in 2004, and continues in service there (see Links page).
