  Was searching for the bus mentioned above when I managed to come across sources of it.

  http://busdatafile.atenviro.com/Citybus/leyland_7.htm
  The Bus Datafile at the ATENVIRO website has provided a good list of the SBS buses that went over to Citybus. Have a look at this source.

  http://www.qbusfile.com/an68/an68.htm
  Also found that the ex-SBS 6800U (Citybus A633, FS 7534) is the only SBS Leyland Atlantean that is currently preserved, according to the source. It is now at Citybus's Tung Chung depot, but I'm not sure whether it is still there as of now.

  Here's another photo of the preserved Leyland Atlantean A633. This was taken about 3 years ago.
