Are you saying Scotts wrong?
As 1758, along with 1759 & 1799 are all Transbus Dart SLFs with Transbus MPD bodies. Exactly the same type as 549 to 574 of Go North East.
You can't get a MPD chassis or a SPD chassis. As these short and long chassis have been offered with other bodywork types especially the shorter Dart Chassis of which I've seen a few with Caetano Nimbus / Slimbus bodies and the Alexander ALX200 body. Also East Lancs have bodied a number of longer Dart chassis, a notable buyer being Surrey County Council who got a large batch of ELC Myllenium bodied examples to lend to operators for Surrey Council contracted routes.
The only real exception is well the Bluebird LMB, which recieved the same body as a Plaxton MPD, but cannot be called a MPD because it's not a Dart, so it's referred to as a Mini Pointer.
