Finishing Touches!
Posted by Aaron Donohoe | Filed under Events, Restorations
The finishing touches are presently being applied to ‘Lucy’ in preparation for her pilgrimage up North to the Annual Irish Transport Trust Bus & Coach Show, Cultrá, Co. Down. The team has been busy making sure every last detail has been tendered to, all that is required now is a good soapy wash and wax and the interior cleaned out.

Anyone who wishes to book last minute seats should contact us immediately at: info@motorpreservationireland.org. We regret to inform, that we will not be able to facilitate any passengers who have not notified us prior.
Weekend of Activities 8-9th March 2008
Posted by Stephen Payne | Filed under Events, General, Restorations
Another great weekend was had at the Wicklow depot with restorations on both 355SZB & 79MN522 well advanced. ‘Lucy’ went for a well deserved spin across Wicklow and ‘Suzi’ Enjoyed the sunshine on a short trip.
Two vehicles - our Park Royal decker 78D1065 as well as the Mosley Bedford 87MH3474 both were involved in Birthday celebrations of Johnnie Fortune, who rolled over the 50 mark on Sunday!
Our VW transporter pickup was also in attendance, having been featured on the MTV ‘Pimp my Ride’ programme.
We were joined by Stephen Lynch from Cork, who took control of a number of vehicles for road testing, as well as organising for our CIE collection to be mobilised within the next two weeks, as well as having our KR receive a new gearbox shortly.
Another visitor was Stephen Kearney, who came along with Jennifer Bergin and Karl Roche, and participated in a road test in 355SZB.
Thanks to everyone who helped out over the weekend, photos and restoration reports will be online on the main website shortly.
