Beautiful photo!
The Iveco series [from 1984, if i am not wrong] did not last for too long in Lisbon... probably because their maintenance.
They were retired after 14/15 years of service.. forcing the Volvo B59's [1975 ~ 1979] to achieve 30 years in service in some cases...
But it was ok for me...as i loved them best!
The era of the long lasting buses is now gone... today a 10-year bus is old and rubish =(
That's right small engines, too much technolegy and expensive up-keep means that both modern buses and cars have a limited life. Somehow some of the old buses got better with age whilst the new ones just got old.
This is hot !!!
I rather prefer these crapy IVECO to the MAN on these same body from Salvador Caetano.
