FBY 803 went on to achieve fame in the UK after being withdrawn.  It was purchased by Michael Pennington  and transformed into a Glamping Bus, named after his late Mother, Patricia.  Unfortunately, the venture failed, and 803 now resides at the North West Road Transport Museum in St Helens, Lancashire, Mr Penningtons' home town.  It has been seen to carry the registrations FCB 153 and FBY 803, neither of which hshow up on official websites.  Of course, Mr Pennington is better known by his alias, Johnny Vegas.
