History

MCV's first deliveries were five Capital bodies on Dennis Darts for English operator Warrington Borough Transport in early 2003.[3] However TransBus subsequently decided not to make the Dart chassis available to other bodybuilders resulting in the superseding MCV Stirling appearing on the MAN 14.220 chassis.[2][4]
This was in turn succeeded by the MCV Evolution in 2005 that has been built on various chassis from Alexander Dennis, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, VDL and Volvo.[5]
MCV has also built double deck bodies with the DD102, DD103 and EvoSeti.[6] The latter has been purchased in sizeable numbers by London operators Go-Ahead London, Golden Tours and Tower Transit.[7][8]
