Some people at the then operator were not happy about the fact that 'their' company was going to merge with 'De Lijn' a few months later. Buses already received the new colours, but someone decided to design a new livery for the old operator (who was going to disappear) and to apply it. The tram never did any service and was shortly afterwards repainted in the new livery of 'De Lijn'.

Salong, vaade taha

The interior also received new livery. This was removed almost immediately afterwards: this renovated tram was the first to receive the new livery of 'De Lijn'. In this livery, only test drives were made and no passenger has ever seen the interior.

This was the first vehicle in the range to be modernised. The color scheme would never be applied. The tram was quickly repainted.
