Year of first Mk2 B10m? (mk1 b10m)

[dhutch]

Simple (?) question, but one I have not found the answer to as yet. What year where the first Mk2 B10m's introduced?

I am looking to buy an early B10m, but am told parts for the mk1 are harder to come by, hence the question.


Thanks

Certainly a really interesting page, although the only date I find is on the front page of the site '‘Volvodemort’ is a 1985 Volvo B10M Mark I coach"

At the top of that page is the serial number ranges for the different versions.

I have just found a 1986 B10M Mk2 , so thats becoming the oldest I have found so far to date.

Does this count as a 'future classic' you never see a mk1 on the road anymore, and they are now 30yo and being sold left right and centre for very little money indeed.
