they will be recieving new branding same style as 82/87 and that includes the black trim but wonder if advert frames will be fitted onto them

I was referring to the whole of the batch delivered to date i.e. 6968-6982 with 6984 on delivery today.

16 new Platinum MMC's over a six week period (2.7 a week), if that rate continues, it will be another 22 weeks before all 75 are here (end of Oct)
