* The bus was built in 1980 by ''Renault Vehicules Industriels'' (RVI), Lyon France as a PR100 demonstrator unit for the Singapore Bus Service
* It was first displayed at the 1980 International Motor Show in Birmingham.
* From 1980-84 it was a demonstrator in the United Kingdom before being stored in the Lyon factory.
* Mack Australia then had the unit upgraded to PR100.2 standard with various body changes to suit an Australian life.
* The bus was first at ACTION from 4-15 March 1985 registered as ZIR-888 however it was never put into service.
* The bus then went to MTT Perth (No. 10) from 26 April 1985 to 10 June 1985, and then returned to Mack and deregistered.
* The bus was returned to ACTION for full evaluation in July 1985, as ZIB-672.
* The bus was renumbered 674 and re-registered ZIB-674 on 11 February 1986.
* ACTION purchased the unit on 25 June 1986.
