• Newly formed Jubilee Minicoaches & Conversions is seeking Renault approval for its wide-bodied Master-based PCV which it launched at Expo Coach 92 last week.
The £23,000 unit is 228mm wider than a standard Renault Master, allowing an extra seat to be added to each row. West Bromwich-based Jubilee, which was set up in May from the assets of defunct Wolverhamptonbased Commercial Services, says it had 14 orders for its 17-seater Maxi Bus before the show in Castle Donington, Derbyshire.
Sales director Mike Holland says he is inviting Renault's LCV sales manager Bob O'Reilly to inspect the unit in the next few weeks. He is optimistic. "After all its 99% Renault and 1% ours," says Holland.
Renault says its mechanical warranty for the Master stays in place, but the six-year corrosion warranty does not apply for the adapted body sections.
Renault has approved a dozen PCV conversions. Exeter-based Devon Conversions showed off one of its approved widened version of the Master at the Birmingham Motor Show last week.
