Was this the one that was painted into a green/off white colour to match the set of named Mark 2's?
If so it certainly lasted into the mid 90s and I have a feeling it was scrapped at MC Metals of Springburn.

Looking at a few records from the early 90s I believe it was renumbered to 6300 when operating as the observation car on the Inverness - Kyle Hebridean Heritage service.

I think it used to be originally 54356 (presumably 56356 before that).
