I prefer bodywork which are able to meet my requirements, ranked
in priority (1 means most important to me & so on) as below
:
1. Does NOT emit any squeaking, cracking & rattling noises
!
1. High (i.e. car-like) standard of finishing quality with
attention to detail
meaning external bodywork with visible riveting is OUT !! Use of
hand brush
to paint the bodywork also OUT !
2. Built to same philiosphy & focus etc. as the maker of the
bus-chassi, i.e. if in
the case of not an 'original bus' but bus-chassi only. (Of course
in the case of
bus/coach with original chassi makers 'officially approved'
bodywork this
para. then not applicable as then the standards are deemed met
!)
2. Good functional & practical designs
3. Timeless but modern & relevant styling
Bodywork which best meet my requirements thus like M-B original
Mannheim built bodies, Kassbohrer Setras etc. along such class.
