Wisby Buses latest additions
Sneak peak of Wisby's "new" artics - MACK / Renault PR180.2 with Ansair bodies
Firstly, ex ACTION #710
Don't know if new front has previously been put on this bus, however you'll notice the sticker says: PR100.2
** Now some may say, the middle of the ' 0 ' has faded/removed, I can assure you, I studied it, and it hasn't
However, the back DEFINATELY says: PR180.2
#702
#701

Re: Wisby Buses latest additions
The missing MACK badge is usually an indication that the front has been replaced, or at the very least repaired and resprayed.
Good to see they've arrived at their new home safely.

I'm aware of that Chris, I was just stating the sticker on the front being incorrect .Bedford-29 wrote:Neil ex ACTION 710 is certainly a PR180.2 someone must of not had there glasses and put 0 instead of a 8.
They hope to have 710 on the road next week. They will be painted hopefully before XmasZIB-585 wrote:The missing MACK badge is usually an indication that the front has been replaced, or at the very least repaired and resprayed.

I didn't look at the Vern, however was told 710 had thousands of $$ thrown at it BEFORE sale Sounds like Metrovernbale wrote:They're BEASTS , how many miles did they have on the odo
IMO they are a very attractive vehicle, however ACTION livery doesn't do it justice (Transperth better)
