They will be about, two should be working in Bristol, the other 6 (?) either hidden in the shed at Exeter or working on Devon Metro services. Spending hours at Exeter would probably make it possible to see them all.

working on Devon Metro services.

During the thankfully short period the failed Devon metro timetable was in operation under Wessex trains you would be very unlikely to find a 143 anywhere near Devon.
Devon Metro was dumped best part of 5 years ago
