The first two Irish Olympians that arrived with Motts Travel were Leylands. This unidentified example, thought to be RA166 (93D10166) which neatly became KSK966, is in their workshops being prepared for service. This included repanelling where necessary, repainting and removal of the centre door. Several more Volvo examples followed.

 Newly arrived in Motts' yard is former CIE RV492 (99D492) destined to become T300MTT, one of a trio of Dublin Volvo Olympians parked in the yard prior to receiving attention in Motts workshops. |
|
 Here RV492 is seen alongside RV487 and RV491 in Motts yard due to be T400MTT and T500MTT. |
|
 The final Olympian from CIE was RV570 (99D570), seen here in the depot yard in July 2013 alongside Jonckheere Mistral bodied Volvo B10M T100MTT. The bus followed the others from Dublin some months later but was prepared for service in plain white on arrival in Aylesbury, but still kept its Irish registration. |
 Eleven months later and RV570 was still in the yard unused, but not for long. It became the second T300MTT that year, the earlier one getting T700MTT and sold to Redline. Picture ref A3379 |
