Plaxtons (Scarborough) Ltd., Castle Works, Seamer Road, Scarborough

THERE seems to be no end to the variety of Panorama coach designs produced and three examples of the latest model—the Panorama Elite—to come from the Plaxton works can be seen on this stand. Completely new styling has been introduced, with deep, curved windows of slightly shorter length than previously employed and even deeper windscreens and rear windows combining with a shallower roof to give the striking design a Continental look. The Panorama ancestry is still to be seen, however, the frontal-grille styling of the Panorama 1 having been retained.

Longest of the coaches is a 37ft 1.25in. 49-seater on a Bedford VAL chassis. Another 49-seater is a 36ft 10in, model on a Leyland Leopard chassis for Ribble Motor Services Ltd. while the remaining coach is a 32ft 6in model on a Bedford VAM chassis finished in a pure white livery and seating 45 passengers. All three coaches have seated windows and individual forced-air ventilation, and wider entrance and emergency doors are fitted.
