A bit of a departure from the norm, in that we have only just started this project, but we felt it worth including as it will be our largest project to date. We’re also confident of another couple to follow…..

Having already worked on a Phantom EWB (15” monitor and DVD player), Range Rover (laptop cabinet on front seat back) for this client, when he decided to commission a luxury private coach for himself and his family, we were his first port of call. The base vehicle (which he had already acquired) was a 16 seat Optare Alero coach. Now firmly ensconced in our workshop, the entire interior has been removed and, once the exterior paintwork has been completed, we will start work on the interior.

The new layout will comprise a total of eight seats, with a fridge and bar area. Bulkheads will separate the passenger compartment from the driver’s compartment and rear luggage area. Large flat screen displays will be mounted on these bulkheads, so that all passengers will be able to watch “in flight” films and satellite TV. Uprated air conditioning will also be installed.

The interior design will follow styling cues provided by the Rolls Royce Phantom saloon. In fact, we will use exactly the same leather and piano black lacquer finish as the clients existing Phantom EWB. The end result will be a merger of features from the Phantom and a luxury executive jet. More pictures to follow!
