Its an OF1413, in Mike Davis SBS Book Pt 2:Originally posted by QX5216J:but i remembered clearly that its the O303, which was the first ac fleet.In 1978, Singapore Airport Bus Services Ltd, was established to provide an international standard public transport link between Paya Lebar International Airport and the major hotels along Orchard Road, the service commencing in July of that year. the chosen vehicles were 15 Mercedes Benz OF1413/61 fully air-conditioned coaches fitted with bodies assembled by Chua Heng to the general outline of the West German-built Mercedes Benz O.303 luxury coaches which were popular in Europe at that time and having the distinctive body styling of the marge, with smooth side panels and large side windows whose upper quarter curved into the body profile to meet the roof line. However, with their somewhat noisey front mounted engines intruding into the saloon, they shared little of the smooth ambience of the O.303s they resembled.
