Quick Facts Overview, Manufacturer ...

In 1998 the design rights were purchased by Salvador Caetano who continued to build it as the Caetano Compass. It was mainly sold to small provincial operators, although Limebourne purchased 34 for use on London Regional Transport contracted services.[2]

A common feature about the Urbanstar/Compass was that it has a rounded roof dome (more rounded as compared to the Nimbus), a double-curvature windscreen and a separately mounted destination display. It was superseded by the Caetano Nimbus in 1999.
