STB662 was supplied new to Lancashire County Council in 1953 and used for tar spreading until 1972 when it was sold to the road surfacing company of William Wilson & Co. who were based in Glasgow. It then worked on both the mainland and the Isle of Arran. It was restored by the current owner over a two year period and returned to the road in 1995. It was repainted in 2001 in the livery of the London Brick Company as a replica of the only Comet in their famous fleet.
