I photographed this immaculate Australian Pacific Denning bodied Mercedes-Benz coach [No.50] at Adelaide Airport c.1990's in the car park awaiting its' passengers from an arriving aircraft. Registration is either [VIC] COG or CDG or CQG-435. Australian Pacific's livery indicates the coach operated Tasmania-Perth-Darwin-Cairns Holiday Tours and their slogan 'We Care More' by the forward wheel.

Looks more like a Denning Landseer bodied 0303/3 as opposed to Austral Pacific. I was visiting the Brisbane factory in 1986 when they were building a batch of their coaches.

It would be a Landseer body with a MB factory front

Thank you Denv12 for your reply.............The reference above [Australian Pacific] was referring to the owner of the coach and not the body builder.

As well as extended holiday tours, AP also operated "day tours" in many of those cities, using those buses.
