ER100 trolleybus & PR100 motorbus running at Sandtoft

Marseille Renault trolleybus no. 202 operating at the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft, UK.
This trolleybus was the first ER100 built by Renault after taking over the design from Berliet. The trolleybus was donated in 2006 after being withdrawn in 2004 when the Marseille system closed. She is operational, and was generally restored in 2006/7. Spare parts from St.Etienne's scrapped ER100's were used in 2007 to achieve full operation, and 202 was launched back into service at Sandtoft at the St.Leger Rally on October 14th, although this video was shot before the work was completed.
The PR100 motorbus is one of only five built RHD for the UK in 1988. All others have been scrapped, so this is the last one of its kind on this continent. As of July 2009 is the bus was made operational, MOT tested and taxed for the road. After three MOT's, 2011 saw it getting a full repaint in the East London livery carried by PR100's in late 1980's.

isn't this a berliet?

[tbusuk]

@subzero92MK - the answer to your question is yes and no. The design is indeed Berliet, but Marseille 202 is the first trolleybus built to that design by Renault, after they took over the design from Berliet. Marseille 201 was the last Berliet made, also in preservation but in France.

There are still plenty of RHD PR100 diesel busses running around Perth and Canberra, Australia!
