Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Marshall of Cambridge (Engineering) Ltd, Airport Works, Newmarket Road, Cambridge, CB5 8RX, The only psv exhibit on the Marshall stand is the by now well-known Cambridgian heavyduty export metal-framed body. This time mounted on the ubiquitous Leyland Worldmaster chassis with 20ft wheelbase, the vehicle is one of a batch of 100 for Lagos City Transport. As with most of the vehicles built in Britain for African operators, the accent of this Marshall is on durability rather than passenger comfort, hence such features as colour-impregnated glassfibre seat squabs. The vehicle, which is 36ft 1in. long overall, can accommodate 80 passengers, 20 of them standees. It has a rear entrance, front exit configuration. Finished in the bold red and silver livery of Lagos, the vehicle will begin its life in helping to provide transport for the Second African Games.

Of course, many people will be more interested in the other Marshall body at the Show — the Camair integral body on the newly introduced Volvo 859 chassis. The first completed vehicle — in Ailsa Bus colours — is outside in the demonstration park but is well worth the effort to see.
