Auwärter N208 – built 1985, a bus from the Stuttgart-based maker: six-cylinder engine, gross weight 9,500 kg, length 7,980 mm
Auwärter N208 comes from the German manufacturer Gottlob Auwärter of Stuttgart, which built coaches and city buses under the Neoplan brand, designating its models with the letter N followed by a type number. At under 8 metres long, the N208 ranks among the more compact models in the range, clearly distinct from the maker's large long-distance coaches built on the same platform logic.

The register lists a six-cylinder engine for this model. Kerb weight is 6,750 kg, gross vehicle weight 9,500 kg. The vehicle is 7,980 mm long, 2,340 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 3,700 mm.
With a gross vehicle weight of 9,500 kg and a length under 8 metres, the N208 was built as a compact bus for routes and duties where a long coach would have been too unwieldy, for example on local or excursion routes with limited space at turning points and stops. The short 3,700 mm wheelbase supports the manoeuvrability such duties require, and the comparatively low gross weight suited smaller operators running just one or two vehicles.
For the purchase of a bus of this age, check corrosion on the frame, floor structure and window frames, the condition of the engine and gearbox, brake system operation, and the seals of the roof and windows against damp; chassis and drivetrain parts are available through workshops specialising in historic Neoplan buses.
