Mornin all.

Back in the rainy months, as we drove across the Island, we saw this beauty of a project on the side of the road. I thought you guys might appreciate it.

Any idea what the prime mover is? I don't recognize it at all.

As near as I can figure, what we have here is a Setra S6. A 1957 0r 1958 vintage.

Setra was built in Germany and was quite big until it merged with Mercedes. You can still see modern busses with the Setra name plate.

Thanks Phil I enjoyed the history lesson!
Boy those busses really have some character. And lots of windows too!
