M575RJM was an unusual purchase for Motts, being on a Dennis Javelin chassis and their first
Plaxton Premier body, indeed the first Plaxton to join the fleet for some years. It is seen here at
the Stoke Mandeville depot resplendent in the new colours, having masqueraded in all white when first acquired.

Another unusual purchase for the fleet at the time, T7MTT was another Plaxton bodied vehicle.
This is the new Plaxton Prima body on the Volvo B7R chassis, rather than Motts' usual B10M.
It also has a high seating capacity - 55. Of particular interest is that this can be
reduced to 51 and 5 wheelchairs accommodated. The position of the lift and access
through a special side door can be soon just over half way down the side of the
vehicle. It initially partnered a DAF/Plaxton Paramount, similarly equipped, which had been
in the fleet for some years.

The B7R has proved popular and two more secondhand models - without wheelchair access -
followed. T9MTT is seen on a school contract in Aylesbury one May morning in 2003.

Newly acquired B7R S20MTT is seen at Milton Keynes Bus Station on hire to Fraser Eagle for rail replacement work with a mammoth fleet of coaches from near and far shuttling between MK and Hemel Hempstead. The vinyls on S20 are from a new supplier and less prone to fading, with a crisper yellow than before. |

Seen in Woking on a private hire for Sir William Borlase's Grammar School in Marlow. The occasion saw the school's jazz band reach the national finals of the Music for Youth competition. |
