IMVT Salvador Caetano Sari, lo Moseley Continental Coachwork Ltd, 140 Knightthorpe Road, Loughborough, Leics.

Three of the increasingly familiar Portuguesebodied coaches sold under the Moseley Continental Coachwork banner are on view. There is an example of the Caetano Cascais II 45-seat body mounted on a Bedford '(RD chassis. There are also two versions of the Estoril II 11-metre bodies. One, mounted on a Ford R1114 chassis, has conventional luxury coach trim and seating for 53 passengers and is destined for Goodes Coachways of Wednesbury, Staffs.

The second 11m job is mounted on the new Bedford YRT chassis and is built to Moseley's Continental Executive Pullman specification. This incorporates 32 reclining seats together with many of the features becoming almost commonplace these days on "executive" coaches. These include side curtains, hot and cold water systems, a lounge area with eight coach seats, card tables, cocktail cabinet, television receiver and others.

All three coaches are fitted as standard for 1973 with saloon heating and ventilation systems which allow complete air changes every two minutes through an automatic thermostatically controlled unit which utilizes four fans and a rear-mounted air-intake.
