Ex-Devon General Daimler 194 was in time painted in Rhondda livery and had the body rebuilt by Starkey in 1948, with no perceptible change in appearance. It would remain with Rhondda until 1956.

To the right of 194 is 131, one of the eleven AEC Regents new in 1935. It was withdrawn in 1952 and at some stage had the seating capacity reduced by two from the figure shown above.
