The MAN SL200 was a transit bus manufactured by MAN between 1973 and 1988, and was based on the first generation German VöV-Standard-Bus body design. More than 5500 units were built of the standard left-hand drive version.[1] There were also several right-hand drive chassis versions available for external bodywork, some of which were delivered with the body frame.
