The Bailey Olympus Series 2 530-4 occupies a mid-range position, offering the Alu-Tech bodyshell at a price point between 9500 and 13500 pounds.

- Assuming all 530-4 models have identical trim; finishes can vary by production year.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 171kg; careful loading is required to avoid exceeding the 1443kg MTPLM.
