Epic Hitachi elevator!

[@europa2000man]

This lift is like a lift you would see on some ferries, like the Stena Nordica (Built in 1999/2000) which used to do the Dublin to Holyhead route. The lift onboard had handles on the doors, and it had a buzzer when the door closed from what I can remember. It also had pushed out buttons like this one, except in white. Even though the lift was installed in around 2000, it felt like a lift from the 1960's or 1970's, especially when a bell dinged when it reached the floor you were going to. I miss that ferry and especially the lift onboard.

It even has that old Sabiem/Fiam like anti-corodial interior, very unusual for a vintage Hitachi elevator.

Also come to Mexico to see incredible elevators xd

[@upanddownadventures]

Have you seen any older (pre-1980) elevators in Mexico? If so, in what cities?

[@GaryBeltz]

1967 is considered to be vintage at least in the states maybe they have to be older over there in Hong Kong.
