The Alexander Strider was a single-decker bus body produced in Scotland by Walter Alexander Coachbuilders between 1993 and 1997. The body was available on Dennis Lance,[1] Volvo B10B,[2] Volvo B10M[3] and Scania L113[4] chassis. In 1993, the body was modified briefly to fit the Mercedes-Benz O405/O405G chassis and was marketed as the Alexander Cityrider.[5] Only two were built on this chassis configuration.
