I still have the movie, so I can check it for you. |

Ok. The quality of the movie makes things extremely difficult, but this is what I found. The five siphers are: 13064. I can't rear the first two letters clearly, but my best guess is XV or UX ... I hope it can help your research, I've tried finding out more about this bus, but I haven't found anything. ![]() |

I dont think its a Ford bus I think its a Volvo, Scania, Mercedes or Daf with bodywork from one norwegian coachbuilders (Vest or somthing like that) Im working on it and hope to find it out. |

Well the letters above the grille clearly read Ford, I'm sure. Maybe they are just put on in order to make the bus look more American. |

Yes but Ford buses of that size are rare in Norway so I think somebody have "upgraded" their bus to a Ford. And if you look at the photos in this serie http://www.flickr.com/photos/36081480@N08/4444546637/in/photostream/ I guess you agree that it could be a Vest.( Den er litt spesiell, jeg tror den er laget som en kombibuss slik den fremstår i filmen, fronten ser ut som en turist/langdistanse buss uten skiltkasse, men det er ingen lasteluker under bussen. det må være mulig å finne ut av dette) -- Last edit: 2011-01-02 11:21:24 |

I was wrong all the time this is a Ford R226 from 1972 with a Vest body. its reg nr is UX13061. In 1985 it was owned by Morten (Diesel) Dahl in Trondheim, he is a norwegian heavy metal rocker from bands like TNT, the bus was used as a bandbus. Link to "www.berglitruckstop.no" |

Does it have Ford 15 M [P6] headlights? ![]() |

I dont know but Vest used same headlights on all buses of that periode, guess they bougth them from Lucas, Bosch or another maker. If you look further down in my link above you will see a closer photo of those lamps on a Scania from Vest. |

If you see the pics in the otheer forum, especially that from the 23rd June, it seems really like that. Anyways, this was very common, that trcuk- and bus-makers have used serial standard lamps of the usual companies. On quite known example are the Setra-buses with the taillights from the NSU 1200. Or the oval haedlights of the Mercedes [LP63]-trucks. Thei are the same, as for the Ford 17M [P3] and the NSU 1000. The rectangular headlights, the Mercedes T2 has, were used even more. Also for the Mercedes LP, the Glas V8 and the trams in Dortmund. |
