Willowbrook of Loughborough had been an important supplier of single-deck bodywork for the BET Group but with the arrival of the complete Leyland National there was a dearth of life sustaining orders in the NBC Era. After taking bus-shell dual-purpose Leyland Leopards Midland Red turned to slightly more upmarket coach based dual-purpose buses and Willowbrook managed to win a decent sized order for eighteen vehicles Nos.789-806 in 1980. 792-796 were at Cannock Garage and No.795 pictured at Rugeley wears the Poppy-Red and white livery in which they were received.
