After spending the early years with an unknown owner, it was bought by John van den Berg of "Heros Transport", Noordwijk (NL) in 2007-08. Here it was given the Disney-livery that it still has today. Baptized "Disneyliner", it is covered by Disney characters on all sides. Van den Berg soon bought another torpedo Scania (reg. BZ-GN-83) and gave it the same treatment, only with different Disney characters. This one was nicknamed "Disneyliner 2"... and there was one more difference: the new arrival received the facelift (series 6) grille. In 2009 van den Berg sold the first Disneyliner to french company "Nord Provence Nord" (reg. 5233 VQ 62), who displayed it at the 2009 Le Mans race (24h du Mans)

In 2015 the Scania was imported to Denmark (unknown owner, reg. AT31371) before arriving at present owner, Svanebilerne (Martin Wahl) in 2016. In spring 2018 it is once again up for sale, but still driving while awaiting new owner.

The engine was "recently" upgraded from a 500 hp to 530.

This famous truck has been immortalized in miniature form in the shape of a 1/50 scale model from WSI - Heros Transport livery, but it looks exactly the same today, except for the names and license plates.

On the day of this photo, the front license plate had obviously become loose and is (barely) seen behind the windscreen.

Going up the steep hill leading sw out of Aarhus past Viby and Stautrup. Underpowered and/or heavily loaded trucks often struggle here.
