Hello to all.=20

Until he/she/it/you makes some years the vehicles that circulated through Spain they were single national vehicles (SEAT, FIAT, CITROEN, PEUGEOT and some that another that alone they were manufactured in Spain), all the other marks were of import as much Japaneses as Europeans, and they had a load of very high taxes, so he/she/it/you is quite difficult find buses air cooled. =09

This in Canarias doesn't happen, since I/he/she/it/you here existed what I/he/she/it/you was denominated frank ports (tax-free) and there is great variety of marks so much Japaneses, Europeans, American, etc. for much time. A curious note is for example that the great majority of the taxis that there is in [canarias] is marks like Mercedes, Volvo, BMW and cars of great luxury since the taxes in this type of vehicles are very low.

You/he/she/it in Canarias could be seen buses of the year 1962 from now on with frequent use, either of transport of goods or matters and there are great variety of spare parts.
