Austro-Daimler?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #13 on:** January 06, 2016, 10:56:24 PM »

I have to say no, because this is neither a G&S nor an Austro-Daimler, but there is a connection to both

Mercedes with Austrian body?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #15 on:** January 07, 2016, 01:18:02 PM »

Bodywork was made in the Monarchy

This should be the same bus! It drove in the Transylvanian region:

Could it be a MMB Marienfelde bus?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** January 07, 2016, 03:45:45 PM »

Not an MMB Marienfeld bus. I'd advise you to look at the puzzle question

grobmotorix · « **Reply #19 on:** January 07, 2016, 03:59:04 PM »

Sure - maybe I have a chance when I know the make.

Or is it just the fact that this was the first regular bus line connecting Austria and Hungary in 1915?

Funny as this whole region is part of Romania today...

Postbus ET 13
Up to seven different Austrian manufacturer postal buses produced that were in operation from 6 July 1907th There were up to 12 different types of vehicles in operation. The many different models and the variety of types were no longer economically responsible for the postal administration.

It was decided to form a unit Type for Post buses. The unit type consisted of standardized items, which were manufactured by nine Austrian companies for Post
