683 is the spare VR, and can usually be found replacing 682 (fails a lot more than it should!) It is also allocated as spare for the Needles Tour (the regular vehicles are Olympians).
Order of Excellence! This is the preferred order going from the best to the (very) worst:
504 (drivers all round favourite), then 503, 681, 683, and definitely last 682 (heap!)
