I know most members of the forum really like red liveries, but this coach looks much better in my eyes in the original Eurocruising livery and subsequent MIDWEST livery. The unrelieved red seemed very plain and in need of another colour to lift the overall effect for coach duties. The good news is that this coach is immaculately restored in the original Eurocruising colours and attended a number of rallies in 2018 thanks to Julie the current owner.
