I know there is 2 older Citaros on the cobalt clipper that are 2nd hand, arent they.
As well as the current stock mentioned by Gary, other second hand aquisitions over the last 10-15 years, which have gone the journey - include the MPD's which came from Arriva at the same time as 5150 etc.
There was the Bluebird from Northumbria Coaches too.
There were the P & R reg Palatine Olympians which came North from London, deckers from Dublin and Nottingham, ex Arriva ECW and Palatine Olympians, the ex Ok Optare and Olympians, some Optare Spectra's from down South as well as a couple of Darts which arrived around the same time as 8289.
There will be many more such as the Marshall and Caetano bodied Darts and I'm sure others will be able to give more details (going from memory alone here).
