We are so used to seeing the sleek frontage of the long running Bova Futura the earlier generation now look even more boxy. However it is amazing how good they looked in the right livery like this Dutch example with bold red stripes of Pool Reizen seen in Croatia.
I used to drive a Europa (body #2172) for Tates of Markyate. A superb vehicle to drive and carry pax.
ReplyDeleteYes the DAF chassis in Britain was one of the best kept secrets at that time and I used to like the Europa too with it's crisp styling as well
ReplyDeleteOnly problem with the DAF chassis was the front brakes. If they were adjusted as per manual, they squealed. I did my own adjustment and never had a problem. My one was the 'high floor' model with the shallow windows.
