I don't post buses often, but this one has a really stylish design. Identify this bus and the coachbuilder, please
expert
Italy?
Yes
Pre-war?
SPA 38R with body by Renzo Orlandi made for the SAD bus company (Societa Automobilistica Dolomiti)
I also came across the SPA 38R, but with a body from Esperia.
two half correct answers, I give one point to each
Thank you for this Solomonic solution.
Thanks Bertrandt, however 1 correction for your administration. The bus in the photo is bodied by Renzo Orlandi as the advertisement on the rear window clearly states and not by Officine Esperia. You got your information from a tank forum, however that forum is wrong for this particular bus when it comes to the body as the white coloured sign on the rear window states Renzo Orlandi. My answer was therefore 75% correct (the Fiat info was missing), not 50% 8)
my information does not come from a tank site. I will ferify
Alfa Japan is correct.
There is no doubt the body was made by Renzo Orlandi.
@Bertrand: If it's Orlandi, please delete my point.

That was not my intention. My intention is to have it correctly documented. Officine Esperia did make a few civilian Fiat SPA 38R autobuses, but the puzzle bus is 100% sure made by Renzo Orlandi. The evidence is even written in the rear window.
"My intention is to have it correctly documented."
That is also my aim and a wrong answer does not earn a point. That's not a problem, once again I've become smarter!
Alfa-Japan is correct. Sorry formy mistake. To remain honest I therefore withdraw the point from Sichel. No more bus puzzle for me
