A bus from Holland with a sliding door and an unknown code. Also not to thread hijack but has anyone ever heard that some buses had fixed vent windows.??? Someone once told me they saw a bus that was a Swedish imported bus and he said the vent or cigarette windows on the doors were sealed because of the cold climate. Anyone know??

those two buses are one day apart, and had almost exactly the same codes, except for that one is a walk through and the other is a bench seat. other than that almost exactly the same bus.

the oldest known one has a 372 which is USA specs with 2 popout windows.

one plate that I really like is the simple '66 standard bus. delivered to germany with only one option, the steering lock. if you are only going to have one option, might as well make it a cool one. I have never seen an m-code plate with less on it than that one.
