Its just such a shame that none of first low floor buses survive, but with the Neoplan not exactly being mainstream in the UK it probably would have been very costly to preserve. So the earliest ex merseyside/MTL etc LF bus in preservation is 7533, unless there is something else that I have forgotten about.

Neoplan L407 TKB was saved as it attended the 2008 Wirral Bus & Tram Show and I later saw it stored at Arriva's Manchester depot however I'm unsure if it remains intact.
