Go Compare coach?

[Condor7]

I like the look of the coach on the new Go Compare advert and wondered if anyone can tell me what it is please?

Overall my guess would be either a Mercedes or possibly a Setra, couldn't give a model number though! I suspect it's been heavily attacked with plastercine or something as it doesn't look like any coach I've seen before!

Looks a bit like a far eastern vehicle?

I wonder if the back end holds the answer to what it is, but I can't place it with anything I know of.

Anyone got a link to this advert or a screenshot? I don't generally take any notice of Go Compare ad's

 

[scotsman]

It looks slightly like a Caetano Levante

The back end was what I based my guess on, which looks quite Mercedes-ish to me, but from the side I'd say Setra or Lahden! Doh!

MA57ERP is the numberplate it shows, which should give a fairly good indication, but I can't find anything with that numberplate online.

Coach & Bus Week seems to think a Levante too!

It looks to me like a modified tri-axle BCI, an import from Austrailia. I'm not 100% certain though.

Here are some screenshots from the ad. Is there any reason for the plate MA57ERP (Master P)? That front view looks heavily disguised - no wipers, tiny mirrors, and a split screen is rare these days.

It shows a destination of "Llandofsaving Town Centre". Most Welsh settlement prefixed with "Llan" refer to the name of a saint, many of which are Celtic saints from the 5th century AD onwards, many of which are arcane.

I cannot trace a Saint Dovesaving, however hard I look.....hock:

I believe the advert was actually filmed in South Africa, near Cape Town. Certainly the roads don't look English and if you compare the coach in the screen shots above, with the coach below, you can see the similarities. It looks to be a Marcopolo Paradiso of some sort albeit heavily modified.

 

[ECML180]

It does pose the question...'why'?!

I would have thought something like a Levante would do, run it around the UK for the filming and then paint up a few NX ones in a similar promotional livery!

 

[Titfield]

I believe quite a few so called "UK" adverts are filmed in South Africa due to cost and climate.

Looks a bodgejob between a jonckheere mistral at the front and a neoplan at the back

Looked a bit like a Marco Polo to me personally. Just that sweeping curve on the windows at the front and the way the back window on the side slopes up.
