In the UK appeared in 1978). The coach was initially imported into the UK by Moseley of Loughborough and was badged as "Moseley Continental".
In Portugal, this was a widely popular coach, being a very representative model on Rodoviária Nacional fleet, becoming a symbol of their express services in the whole decade of the 80's, as well as on most private touring agencies.
A minibus version was known as Alphete.

Famous quotes containing the word alpha:
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
