The Caetano Alpha was a design of coach bodywork built by Salvador Caetano of Portugal between 1975 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).
Other body manufacturers for the Dorchester were Duple (five, including the sole export Dorchester, for South Africa), Caetano (two coaches which made up the remainder of the Amos contingent), and Berkhof (one vehicle).
The Duple Metsec bodywork for Citybus's Dragons, which were assembled by Salvador Caetano in Portugal, were different from those supplied to KMB/CMB in that the frontal design resembled with those used on Alexander R-type and a wider front door was used.
A small single-deck fleet was also operated, including three rare Caetano-bodied Volvo B10Ms.
The chassis of the Toyota Coaster is also used on the Salvador Caetano Optimo and sold in Western Europe.

Bodywork has been split between two of the smaller body builders though, with Caetano taking the Darts and East Lancs Tridents so far.
