it looks like a german Standard-Bus first generation even in colors of Hamburg built by many companies most likely MAN SL 192 or 200 City bus (VÖV) country bus (StÜLB) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAN_SL_192 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAN_SL_200 Mercedes-Benz O305 http://www.bilderhoster.net/safeforbilder/9f6atpbr.jpg BüSSING was overtaken by MAN 1971 http://www.beku-bildarchiv.de/forum/stummi-forum/502_Heddernheim_1975_43.jpg Magirus Deutz Postbus with country bus front StÜLB http://www.flickr.com/photos/posttruckbonn/5272784652/in/photostream/ there is no place in Germany without those Busses from 1968 - 1988 -- Last edit: 2012-06-27 20:20:09 |

Thanks, but this was filmed in New Zealand and the bus is right hand drive with passenger doors on the left. -- Last edit: 2012-06-27 01:15:50 |

i came to the idea, because nowadays MAN or Mercedes delivers single deck Busses to London, maybe made an first attempt with demonstrator RHD prototypes in the 80ies?! at least there have been some copycats of this design: IKARUS 190 http://www.ikarusbus.cz/historie/ik190.jpg IKARUS 194 VÖV style on Volvo B10M chassis http://autotrans-bus.narod.ru/info_bus/ikarus-194.jpg Ikarus built RHD okay this is not VÖV http://www.ikarusbus.cz/historie/ik261.jpg but otherwise the design is inspired very much by Standartbus! -- Last edit: 2012-06-27 20:20:54 |

Perhaps you're getting confused with the Bombardier/GAC buses designed by FFG for CIE in Ireland: /vehicle_121305-Bombardier-KC-21.html |

thank you, for this helpful and interesting hints, leading to some conclusion! The Bombardier KC 21 to be seen in car wash looks like beeing based on second generation thin pillars in black plastic massive box shaped top Link to "de.wikipedia.org" Our example is nearer to first generation, with rounded window corners + tin in car color pillars and no box shaped roof but arched style + small rear window looking at the KC21 it has a rear window exactly the hight of the side window! Well in 1977 they could have chosen either first or second generation do you know of Bomabrdier built those, too? -- Last edit: 2012-06-27 13:56:52 |

This text is about Mercedes O305 + MAN SL200 RHD VÖV body made in Australia coming pretty close to the searched one, but not yet 100% satisfied with  RHD MAN SG192 demonstrator but bendy bus Link to "www.busaustralia.com" was delivered to MAN Australia as a demonstrator with an imported kit body assembled by Custom Coaches MAN bendy bus single rear window like the one we are searching Link to "www.busaustralia.com" MAN SL200 (but with three rear windows) Link to "www.busaustralia.com" Mercedes-Benz MB O305 PMC (Pressed Metal Corpporation) AUSTRALIA not yet listed on IMCDB they built at least 360 pieces only the 1. Mercedes generation , cause off 360 listed with pic on the site, you´ll find 600 so called Standartbusses of german origin of different generations on this site so these seem to be as comen in AUSTRALIA as in AUSTRIA ( Steyr badged Mercedes-Benz MB O305 or ÖAF daughter of MAN ) maybe the most widespreaded bus in Australia in the 80ies prophylactically in case of Australian movie showing RHD otherwise Standartbus -- Last edit: 2012-06-27 20:30:51 |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_O305#New_Zealand New Zealand Motor Bodies B46D licenced VÖV Mercedes-Benz O305 300 built for Auckland Auckland Regional Authority and its successors had a fleet of over 300 Mercedes-Benz O305 buses (Fleet numbers 1301-1600) which were in use until 2005. Many of these had been sold to other bus operators or converted for other uses including mobile homes. All were fitted with New Zealand Motor Bodies B46D bodies, VoV bodies built under license. After serving the city of Auckland, some were rebuilt with low-floor bodies by Designline and Fairfax Industries, for further suburban use. New Plymouth New Plymouth City Council purchased seven Mercedes-Benz O305 buses. Four were purchased in 1976, on the back of the Auckland Regional Authority order, and used the same specifications. Three more were purchased in 1984. Mercedes-Benz started delivery of chassis to New Zealnd in 1971 MB O317 city bus with RHD body locally built http://www.omnibus.org.nz/buslocation/mbenz/ http://www.omnibus.org.nz/buslocation/mbenz/ i like this picture because MAN STÜLB side by side Mercedes VÖV http://mercedes-benz.csmd.cz/images/me/mercedes-benz-0305-new-zealand.jpg still unlucky with rear window in corner, our bus beeing older. -- Last edit: 2012-06-27 20:53:34 |
