| ==Notes==
| |
| * 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.
| |
| * A Gulton flip-dot destination display was installed in the bus during February 1988. (This was later replaced by STC Cannon flip-dot display.)
| |
| * It was re-registered as BUS 674 during May 1989.
| |
| * On 4 July 1992 it was transferred from Kingston Depot to Tuggeranong Depot.
