Unkel Kunkel Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise to learn that a brilliant designer of one thing can also design something else - but it was for me to learn G. Michelotti designed a bus ! (Copied from Autocar 27 April 2022): Bfg, PeteH and Adrian Cooper 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 This is from his period of "can't decide if it's a bus or a Herald" indecision... Adrian Cooper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Cooper Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Where does the driver sit? Not behind the bottom window surely, with those vast A pillars. And not at the top either with no view of the road in front. I have a recurring nightmare about having to drive a bus from the top deck but this would be even worse. Come on Pete, (and Colin too) what is the story? Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
