Hello fellow Forum Readers!
Some weeks ago I asked you for help about a Norwegian Berkhof Excellence-coach built on a DAF SBR3000-chassis witch was owned bij the operater Kjell Gausen.
I also told then that this coach was picture in a older Berkhof-brochure.
thanks to a Dutch public selling-website called "Marktplaats", translated as "Marketplace" I found someone, that had this brochure in his collection.
The sold this brochure to me, for my collection.
I have made a scan of this brochure to show it here on the forum.
I also would like the forum-readers who helped me with other information and pictures from this coach.
Kind greetings,
John de Ruijter, The Netherlands(http://berkhof%20excellence%202000%20kjell%20gausen.jpg)

Thanks for showing us the pic, John!
I was going to ask you about the picture last time, when it didn't appear, but I totally forgot. Nice that you found a way to show it yourself! I will make sure that the guys on the Norwegian bus forum get to see it too, unless somebody else does it first. But I don't think I got time to do it today.
Funny picture with all the surroundings being a drawing too. You don't see that today, as it probably would make people think that it's faking somehow.
I got around to check this bus' history in Norway today.
Gausen traded it in (to the Mercedes dealer) in 2002, and from then and until 2006 it was used by some charity organizations. It was unregistered in november 2006, but it is not known what happened after that. I would say that it most likely may have been exported to the east somewhere, but I have no idea where it may have ended up.
