After the successful trial of 4 prototype Dennis Jubilants (N1-4) in 1977-8, Kowloon Motor Bus ("KMB") placed orders for production version of the front-engined model. Unlike N1-4, those bodies were supplied by BACo, these buses were fitted with Alexander bodies. First 4 Alexander bodied Jubilants (N5-8) were registered on 11 May 1979 as BY 6592-5. Totally there were 360 production Jubilants introduced but only first 210 were fitted with Alexander bodies. Among these 210 buses, one (CF 4180) was installed with an air-condition unit for evaluation purpose. The trial was finally a failure and the air-condition unit was removed. The bus was then returned to service as a non air-conditioned bus and KMB allocated N364 as the fleet number for the bus. The remaining 150 (N214-363) Dennis Jubilants were fitted with Duple Metsec bodies.
