Historic Moventis buses take part in film about the Olympic Games

This week, the historic Moventis buses became luxury supporting actors in the film being made in Barcelona about the period in history surrounding the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games entitled “Amics per sempre” [Friends Forever]. 

The three buses got dressed up for the occasion, as did the drivers who drove them to the set, who were dressed in period clothing as extras. The filming was long and intense but the result will undoubtedly be worthy of the highest praise. We would like to thank the drivers who volunteered to take part in this adventure and all members of the team at the Vallès de Automoción garage and Transportes Ciutat Condal who look after our historic buses so well. We will be looking out for the release of this film to see them in action!
