I've just been sent an email by the current owner of RM1732 (presumably still in France, though it has Belgian plates) offering it for sale for spares as it has been damaged by fire.

The fire has badly damaged bay 4 on the nearside, the rear wheel arch bay, and has spread to the upper deck. Both lower ceiling and upper deck floor badly distorted. The body lengthways rails have melted, so in my view the bus is beyond repair.

The roof had already been removed by Bus Prophils in Charleroi, so it has a flat roof.

Quite how much it would cost to low loader it back from France to the UK I know not, but it would provide a good source of spares. I last worked on this bus in Charleroi last August and it seemed to run well.
