Yes I like them too as the were a nice mix of DAB, Leyland National2 styling and of course your Utic of Portugal. Do you know what engines were in them?

The full Leyland type number was MTL11R that was built up by Utic with "Standard" type coachwork (this example) for urban services and with the "Europe" type coachwork for tourism purposes and long haul (Expresso) services.
