I haven't seen the original post so don't know, but are we sure the word 'loan' isn't being used to refer to the fact it has seen use to a demonstrator in the past?

As mentioned previously, for all it is noted as being 'on loan', Brighton & Hove list the vehicle as being sold to Ensign. To me, if it was still a demonstrator for Wrightbus, it would be owned by Wrightbus, not Ensign. http://history.buses.co.uk/history/curre...elcome.htm
