RE: Ex Arriva NW Palatine II's
Not sure if its been scrapped (yet), as it's still listed as being off the road.

DVLA Vehicle Enquiry;
(N283 CKB) NEW 15-12-1995, SORN 01-12-2012, 9600ccDIESEL, BLUE, £500 PER YEAR.

Interestingly, both 0283 and 0276 were/are the only Wirral Palatines to be delivered at the end of 1995 (all the rest were new in '96).

I reckon Arriva chose a DAF as its a low-floor model and it can run around in service in the winning design.
Incidentally, the Arriva Artbus page STILL EXISTS, despite the design competition ending on Saturday 31st March!
