Mercedes-Benz 811D / Carlyle

This page created 18th August 2006 by Ian Smith. Best on 800*600.

London & Country

London & Country had used Carlyle bodywork on its Sherpa minibuses, and used it on three early purhases of 811Ds. It did not keep them very long, and switched to buying Reeve Burgess/Plaxton long bodies, so you can draw your own conclusions.
