For sure no Benz-made coachwork. |

It's definitely Norwegian-made, but I'm not sure about which coachbuilder |

According to this page, this is an Arna Busser AS, Arna at Bergen (1947-97) badge http://www.omnibuss.se/forum/index.php?topic=10373.0 . Mercedes-Benz was rather rare up in the north, and consequently only a handful was built by each coach builder. According to this very interesting page http://www.rhf.no/karosserier.asp only nine (9) reasonably big Mercedes was bodied years 1966-70 built on chassies LP 1113 (three of them), LPO 1113 (one), OH 1113 (one), OH 1313 (two) and OF 1317 (two). Also stated on that page was what company the buses were delivered to, and when trying to match I've come down to the conclusion that Moldskreds Rutebiler and Eksingedalsruta are the more likely, colourwise. Therefore, slightly worried, I state that this is either of: - Mercedes-Benz LP 1113 with chassis number 805 registered as R-1241 delivered to Eksingedalsruta 19/7 1968. - Mercedes-Benz OH 1113 with chassis number 811 delivered to Moldskreds Rutebiler 21/4 1969. Please comment on the likelyhood. -- Last edit: 2012-04-26 13:21:35 |

MB and Arna for sure, but I think its a OP312 from 1966 or 67 delivered to Arna Osterøy Billag. -- Last edit: 2012-05-25 23:35:44 |
