New in 02/1990, this Peugeot-Talbot Freeway was acquired from a charity by the Barrow Transport Group in 2008, initially for spares, to keep their former Barrow Borough Transport, 100, E571MAC, a similar Talbot Pullman on the road, which can be seen in the distance, however it was found to be in sound condition and was painted in this blue & cream livery for use as a mobile trade stand/spares carrying vehicle. It is currently off the road. I don't have a lot of history on it, but it may have been a Peugeot-Talbot demonstrator. It is seen here near the Midland Hotel, Morecambe, when on display at the Ribble Vehicle Preservation Trust Morecambe Running Day, on 06/05/2012. © Peter Steel 2012.
