Not a Volvo 300, but I spotted this very interesting Neoplan Tourliner bus the other day.

According to the company's website, this coach is just right for economical touring heralding a new era in NEOPLAN’s wide range of models and is a class of its own on the entire coach market. It combines aesthetics and economy in a most gratifying way.
