Anyone got the picture of Volvo B7L demonstrator?

Dear all

I am looking for the picture of Volvo's first B7L concept double decker/ Plaxton President with mounted engine which first seen at Coach & Bus show 1998, I have been searching on fotopic & google but found nothing, anyone got any links of this demonstrator?

Btw Last time I heard this bus is dumped at Sweden, any updated news for that?

This is the only pic I can find from Volvo's website

from what I have heard of the bus, it was displayed in the show, but it was not seen moving on it's own power. the bus was not even used as a demonstrator by the company! .

regards

Yoram

Thanks Yoram

The only bit information I have got so far is the bus went on show in Aldgate for 3 days in 1998 and reported in the July 1998 Buses magazine. But no mentioned about how the bus got there (on tow perhaps?)

The photos of the bus in that show were published in HONG KONG BUS YEARBOOK 1998 written by Danny Chan.
I do have that book butit might not be very possible to reproduce them here, right !?

I got this book already but wonder any more pictures of this 'secret' bus as rumours said this demonstrator has already withdrawn and dumped in Sweden

其實如果之前有人買了來改裝開蓬巴士,應該很適合不過了。
