1325 was introduced in 1992 at Elizabeth depot. It was the last of only five SL202 diesels with a ZF transmission. During its life, it operated on the O-Bahn Busway until 2011.

In 2000 it was transferred to Serco, who renumbered it 424, a number it would keep until its retirement in 2016. In 2005 it was transferred to Torrens Transit, who would operate it until its retirement.

425 is unique among our preserved SL202s in that it still retains part of its original livery - the orange and blue stripes still run across the roof.

As SL202s were the last high floor bus built for Adelaide - and the rest of the diesel variants had Voith transmissions, this bus was the last high-floor diesel with a ZF transmission.

It is currently waiting in line for its restoration - specific livery and era is yet to be confirmed.
