BTJILT to the requirements of Messrs. D. MacDougal, of Oban, Commer Cars, Ltd., of Luton, has recently made delivery of the unusually attractive 20-seater coach, shown in accompanying illustrations. The chassis is the Comnaer PLNF5 type with 80 b.h.p six-cylindered engine.
Special attention has been devoted to passenger comfort, which has been achieved by departing from orthodox practice in the matter of seating layout. The seats are arranged in pairs; on the off side of the body, with single seats on the near side, a full-width seat being provided at the rear. Of the bucket type, they have Dunlopillo cushions, moquette upholstery, with leather edgings, and repp backs.
The interior decoration is also executed largely in repp to match the upholstery, with woodwork of polished walnut. Right throughout, comfoA and a high standard of luxury have been aimed at, and the bodybuilder, the Waveney Co., Ltd., has achieved its object.
Intake extractor-type ventilation
provides for the maintenance of a constant flow of fresh air throughout the interior. Panelled in glass, the sides and front canopy of the sliding roof permit of the passengers obtaining an uninterrupted view of the magnificent scenery which forms one of the main attractions on the route on which this coach will operate.
Messrs. MacDougal already run a fleet of Commer coaches, and delivery of the present machine was made through Hamilton Bros., Ltd., Scottish distributor of Commers.
