Prevost Car LeMirage XL

Prevost LeMirage XL
Years of manufacture	1983 to 1995
Length	40 feet
Width	102 inches

The Prevost Car LeMirage XL is similar to the Prevost Car LeMirage but with a wider body (102 inch). Unlike the LeMirage which had circular headlights, the LeMirage XL had rectangular headlights. In late 1987, composite headlights borrowed from the Ford F-Series trucks were made available and the front fascia and rear light assemblies were restyled.

Introduced in 1985, a sightseer roof window option was offered and called the Astral XL. Only 18 of them were built, including four demonstrator units, in 1985 and 1988.
