In 2021 we were honoured to convert a very special minibus for the Lord’s Taverners in memory of one of Stanford’s own - Jonny Wiggins.

We welcomed a brand-new member to the Stanford Coachworks sales team! Nigel Povey now represents SCW in the North of England.

This year we were excited to see the return of shows! We exhibited two new conversions, a Mercedes Sprinter and a Peugeot Boxer at the 2021 CV show.

With the demand for medical service vehicles on the rise due to COVID, we converted some bespoke minibuses this year, including a mobile doctors clinic!

One of the SCW build teams has been incredibly busy this month converting two brand-new bespoke splitter buses for a returning tour bus client.

Ooosh Tours, who are based in Brighton, began their touring business in 2008 and now have over 20 vehicles that are available to hire with or without a driver. Since relocating to a larger premises in 2015, Ooosh Tours also began offering additional services such as equipment and rehearsal room hire. After the industry’s reopening post-lockdown, Ooosh saw a mass influx in business resulting in them requiring another two bespoke Stanfords Mercedes Sprinter conversions.

When designing their previous vehicles, we worked closely with Ooosh Tours to help create a bespoke specification which meets all of their requirements. Their two new vehicles have been converted to this same specification and are again based on L3H2 Mercedes Sprinters finished in blue metallic paint to match their previous splitters. To cater for all of their self-drive clients, one of the new vehicles features automatic transmission and the other, manual transmission. The custom Sprinters are split into two sections - a comfortable passenger saloon in the front for touring entertainers and a large equipment storage area in the rear.

• Both vehicles based on a L3H2 Mercedes Sprinter in dark metallic blue (one auto transmission, one manual transmission)

• Limo tinted rear windows

• 6 x reclining passenger seats configured in a conference style arrangement

• Seats upholstered in blue hard-wearing bio leather with silver piping & stitching

• Front cab seats reupholstered to match rear saloon seats

• Soft feel material lined interior with non-slip wood effect lino

• Custom matching blue recessed roof panel

• Memory foam day bed

• 2 x television screen with Apple TV, Bluetooth soundbar and HDMI input

• Double and single 240V plug sockets with USB charging points

• Interior comfort blue / reading white LED lighting

• 800-watt inverter

• Battery charging system

• 15-minute timer

• Additional exterior locking system to secure equipment

• Large rear storage space with custom built storage boxes
