 A journey back to around 1980 when Motts Travel's base was a tiny yard in the village of Upton outside Aylesbury. For many years Motts sought to develop the site but could never gat planning approval. The site has never been atractive and is still owned by Motts, though not used since they moved to Stoke Mandeville with the takeover of Dicksons, and has become overgrown but would make a great location for a luxury dwelling. In the yard we see Willowbrook bodied Seddon Pennine 6 OBW399M, which was new to a company in Kidlington and later passed to Greystone Coaches, believed to be in Ireland. The Duple Bodied Ford R226 on the left is believed to be XNK512J.

 In 2006 a pair of Scania/Irizar PB2000 coaches were bought to lift the image profile of the fleet. The coaches were bought primarily for overseas tours. These were stock vehicles and not trimmed to Motts specification. Scania K114IB GB06MTT is not seen on the Continent but at Westcott Airfield for the 2007 Race for Life Park & Ride service. |

 A third Scania/Irizar was purchased in 2006 in the form of this 70-seat Century bodied K94IB, MT56MTT, primarily for school work. It is seen in the new yard in May 2007. |
