The Ulster Transport Authority ran both rail and bus services from their headquarters in Belfast in Northern Ireland from 1948 to 1966 when they ceased operation. Amongst their varied transport fleet were a number of the single deck front opening Leyland Tiger Cubs with SARO bodies including this one, which we see decorated in the UTA colour scheme of two tone green and cream, sporting the UTA badge on the sides.

The wheels are an interesting shade of lime green with bright red and silver inserts with the remainder of the exterior trim finished in silver. The interior seating is moulded in dark green, with contrasting tan carpet and cream dashboard.
