 By March 2013 the Auckland Explorer was in the hands of Ritchies and an Optare Spectra doubledecker had been acquired to operate on the service. The bus was formerly Anglan Bus 501 (YJ56ASZ) new in 2006. The UK livery conveniently needed no modification for use on the tour. The bus is seen departing the Ferry Terminal. |

 The Spectra is seen again on its next lap of the tour an hour or so later. |

Taken at the same time as the first shot, this view shows the Spectra, now 643 (ERQ751) with Ritchies with the Ferry Building clearly visible.

 The Optare Spectra was still going strong in November 2017, though its days were numbered. It had been given a repaint from the Anglan Bus scheme and Gray Line branding.
