UNKNOWN UNITS TO BE IDENTIFIED
NOTES

618 - The chassis for the 29th unit of the initial order was diverted from Ansair to PMC Adelaide to become the prototype O-Bahn bus with ABS braking. A replacement chassis with ABS braking was bodied by Ansair during 1983 and delivered as 618.
This was the first bus to enter public service in Australia fitted with ABS.

There is 3 different body series,These are some minor changes that I have noticed.585-612 - Black drivers compartment, Boxish interior lights,Flat rear engine access door,No mirror above back seat.618-638 - Woodgrain drivers compartment,Boxish interior lights,Flat rear engine access door,Mirror above back seat.639-670 - Larger woodgrain drivers compartment,Recessed interior lights,Protruding rear engine access door,Mirror above back seat.
