 A surprise purchase in 2007 was this secondhand Neoplan Euroliner, 9920MT, seen in Marlow with the short Van Hool coach on private hire work in the Autumn of that year. A yet to be painted Red Rose Caetano Nimbus bodied Dart can be seen beyond. |

 In May 2008 Motts acquired a secondhand Neoplan Starliner. The distinctive A side framing representing the A for Auwärter, the family name of the founders of Neoplan. The coach came from Coliseum Coaches in Southampton, in whose silver livery it has been kept. The prestigious vehicle is for the use of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club, and hence it has acquired the 90WFC registration from the B10M/Jonckheere Mistral which previously performed the Club's work. |
|
 The Starliner gets used on other prestige work, beside that for the Wanderers. It appeared at SHOWBUS in 2008, by then christened "Motts Platinum". Not only had it operated an exclusive excursion from Aylesbury, but also served as the judges' hospitality coach for the day. |
|
 The yard in May 2009 and the Starliner is seen alongside KSK966, a recently acquired ex CIE Alexander bodied Leyland Olympian which had freshly emerged from Motts' workshops where it had been converted to single door and received a lot of other attention to its bodywork. |
|
 Motts Platinum became a regular at Showbus for many years, operating as an excursion to the event and doubling up as the judges' hospitality vehicle. Here it is arriving in 2010. |
