The Caetano Alpha was a design of coach bodywork built by Salvador Caetano of Portugal between 1976 and 1983 (with facelifts in 1977, 1979, 1980 and 1981, known as Alpha 77, 79, 80 and 81, respectively. In the UK appeared in 1978). The coach was initially imported into the UK by Moseley of Loughborough and was badged as "Moseley Continental".

In Portugal, this was a widely popular coach, being a very representative model on Rodoviária Nacional fleet, becoming a symbol of their express services in the whole decade of the 80's, as well as on most private touring agencies.
