I say ARNA-bodied Merceds-Benz OH1627 or similar. ARNA was a Norwegian bodybuilder later incorprated in now closed Vest production. |

What origin should it be, then? Norway? |

It's the old question again: which counts, the chassis or the body? Maybe annother question would be, where the specific vehicle was made, in a local plant of the brand or from a different coachbuilder-company  Vehicles from local plants we usually list as orign from that country (like the many Argentinian or Brazilian buses and trucks), vehicles, assembled by local coachbuilders, were listed like the origin of the base-vehicle (like the "Luton"-bodied truck in the UK, the ambulances, campers, etc.) |

I'd say that if the whole body is from somewhere else it counts as the new origin, unlike vehicles where only the cargo-part is specific to another coachbuilder for example. |

But we have always listed the orgin of the chassis. Are we going to change to a new system now? |

A couple of passing comments: Luton is a body style, not a reference to origin. It was invented in Luton in the 1930s for a Bedford used by a hat transporting firm - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luton_body - but it is historical and not related to who built it or where. Also just to ask - are there 2 separate buses in the picture or one huge bendibus? |

@dsl: I know, so I've apostrophed the "Luton" - but it's indeed a typical British style, built there and not often to see in other countries. If you look closer to the European trucks, especially the smaller ones and all vehicles with a specific bodywork, you see a lot of differences. For example the special Italian truck-wheels, the different back bars and frame of Dutch trucks etc.pp |

SR25262 returns a 2005 Mercedes-Benz. Are you sure that is the right plate?

I'm afraid that source may give you wrong info. SR was used 1986-97. To answer dsl's old question, it's a 2 axle bus. -- Last edit: 2025-02-27 06:40:42 |

How can your official plate search give wrong info? Link to "www.vegvesen.no" |

Have you misread the info? It was registered in September 1988. Try Google Translate, opening the top boxes (for 'MOT' and registration) gives you: SR 25262 MERCEDES-BENZ OH 1628 L Last approved 23.02.2005 Deadline for approved EU inspection The vehicle was exported from Norway (15.08.2005)Expired Vehicle status Exported (15.08.2005) Registration number SR 25262 Chassis no.
