Brilliant images, the 1st image m/o 3286 is a MAN, they look almost the same as a MK5/V but the main differences are the way air vents/access hatches on the rear left of the bus.

[TAA727]

Also access flap behind rear wheels for airbag. Plus they just seem to have a slightly different stance on the road to a MkV.
Not to mention distinctly different sound!

Talking about the stance are the air bags independant?
Years ago when these were still new I noticed sometimes the rear of the bus was higher then the front.

They have brilliant independent front suspension and the rear is set up very differently to a Merc. They're a bit rougher on the road, but they handle so well.

Mercedes set to comfort, MANs set to sport.

Good selection of R & W Mercs and 3286.

Try 3116.

True.
The M.A.N.s have massive front independent swing arms which meet in the middle under where the centre door is.
