I cannot give you too many details about this trolleybus photographed in 1984 but I expect Coimbra No.30 was bodied at least by Salvador Caetano.

The pavement remains the same even today.
Sorry to run this plug here, but the original trolleybuses of Coimbra, which lasted until not too long ago (and I belive one is still there, preserved, albeit with a newer body) were some Swiss built trolleybuses.
A friend of mine has recently been instrumental in producing very convincing HO scale models, some of which are, I beleive, still available.. I have no involvement in the venture, I'm just announcing this because they are such nice models.
I hope this link works:
