The Davis (purple stripe) livery was introduced in June 1972 as a corporate livery for Doncaster Corporation Transport. Its livery was red with a purple stripe lined out in white. The ‘d’ logo also appeared on the legal lettering of vehicles, bus stops, timetables and brochures. All Daimler vehicles delivered in 1962, ‘64 and ‘66 carried this livery except one – Bus 170, which was withdrawn following an accident. The first batch 168-173, 182-187, 168-73 GDT, and 182-187 HDT were bodied by Roe using ex-trolleybus bodies (these chassis were 7’ 6” wide for this purpose). A CVG6 with Roe H34/28F body is preserved by the Doncaster Omnibus and Light Railway Society
