It's responses like this which annoy me about this forum. Fortunatley the number of people making stupid comments like these have been reduced to them been removed from this forum due their continued stupidity.
Anyway, 4939 (NK51OLA) was destroyed in a fire in a dealership yard, I believe it was in the Scania yard in Worksop but the reports have been conflicting over the years, but that is the more plausible one I know of. The vehicle had been on display at Bus and Coach 2001 and was been prepped for delivery to GNE after the show where it either caught fire in the yard or on a test run.
There maybe one or two photos of it at the show (I do recall seeing images of the show and the vehicle is just visable in the background), though back then not many enthusiasts attempted to go and visit the show to take photos of the latest vehicles etc.
