I was in Seville over the weekend and noticed two mid-70s-vintage NCT Atlanteans still in harness on the city's tour bus service.

 

Was there a reason for the popularity of old NCT vehicles with this kind of operation?

Den, there were a batch of six, numbered 395 - 400, all built to a height of 13'8" to get under the Wilford Lane GCR bridge. 395 ran for a couple of years as an overall advert for Big Chef, whilst 400 had a GB sticker in its rear window following a jaunt to the continent in 1972.
