Demiter ◊ 2012-03-22 06:00	This is an early Ikarus-250 has a single swing door (1971-1980): Ikarus-256 has an automatic doors and a black plastic bumper http://static.baza.farpost.ru/bulletins_images/2/5/2/2524370.jpg -- Last edit: 2012-03-22 09:18:23
Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-03-22 12:02	Yes and no. Yes: Now the extra pic indeed confirms the 250 - nice addition. Ukrainian source and Russian wiki say, that first year of 250 in SU was 1973. No: Demiter wrote Ikarus-256 has an automatic doors and a black plastic bumper http://static.baza.farpost.ru/bulletins_images/2/5/2/2524370.jpg Early Ikarus 256 didn't have automatic doors and black bumpers, but the same like 250. Then both, 250 and 256 received the automatic doors (ca 1983) and plastic bumper (ca 1981 for 250 and ca 1984 for 256 - in case of the Soviet versions) later. -- Last edit: 2012-03-22 12:15:36
Demiter ◊ 2012-03-22 12:35	Yes, the early 256 (since 1977) looks almost like the 255, but it has two doors. The first sample of 250 produced in 1968. Serial production 1971-1999 http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikarus-250 -- Last edit: 2012-03-22 12:44:13
