Ingo ◊ 2012-09-19 19:32	The stripe is just a sticker, nothing important. But can the bus be locally assembled? It is not a German one!
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2012-09-19 19:38	I'm pretty sure that the body was built by an Israeli coachbuilder, either Ha'argaz or Merkavim. -- Last edit: 2012-09-19 19:38:30
Ingo ◊ 2012-09-19 19:43	Hopefully the experts will appear. Here were two(?) Israelian guys with knowledge about their buses.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2012-09-19 20:02	Even the Egged website just says Ha'argaz or Merkavim. http://www.egged.co.il/Eng/DisplayOneContent.asp?lngCategoryID=2726
