The computer image of it looks great. Can't wait to see it, going to Coach Expo so will get some pics for us.

[Matt]

Ill show my bum on the town hall steps at rush hour if it looks like that when it goes in to production:rotfl3::rotfl3:

Imagine ringing up the boss to say you have just had a branch which has put a crack in the windscreen :fingers-crossed3::fingers-crossed3:

Found some more pictures on the Plaxton site.

Wouldn't like to smash that front screen !!

[coachdriverjed]

oh i do like that, nah i wouldnt fancy ringing the boss t telllng him ive cracked the windscreen

[amidwales]

Went up to scarborough twice last week, and was given a chance to see the new coach. Yes it does look great, the name is still a secret. Too long for the roads we drive on. but got to say it looks good.

[Karl]

Thanks, can't wait to see it at the Expo. Does it look like the computer gen images ?

[amidwales]

Near enough yes. The windscreen isnt one piece as the pics make out, but i supposse from a distance it would.

[coachdriverjed]

here we go think this is it

[Karl]

Yeah thats it. Although i've not seen any interior shots yet. Looks the bees knees though. Although will companies buy them now with the credit crunch ?

[Supertractorman]

I think you will get some companies buying one as they like to be the first for everything, but don't expect many companies will be buying new at all, unless they have guaranteed contracts to fulfill.

David

[coachdriverjed]

erm id say only the top notch companys will be buying, IE: ellisons, kings ferry and so on

[coachdriverjed]

here ya go karl searched high and low for you

[Karl]

Thanks Jedders.

[coachdriverjed]

[Matt]

Ill never know why they put a big ass piece of glass above the driver...
The new jonk is the same plus them starliner jobbies. How hot is that going to be in summer, plus whats it gonna look like with all the bug splats you cant get at to clean off????

Sill looks nice though.

[AndyS]

Strange isnt it how different angles make things look ugly!? I mean it looks relly nice form every angle, all but the square on front view. Man it looks ugly, too aggresive..

Ouch! Is that a basic spec if you know what i mean? How much extra for leather, sat nav, the top notch drivers seat etc the list goes on...

[Karl]

Think there is only 1 spec Matt, with leather, tables, kitchen etc.

[Supertractorman]

Interesting to see the Sat Nav is Blaupunkt, the same one as in my motorhome. Just hope it does not take the new Placcy down the same narrow road it took me down in the M/H in Dorset, otherwise it could end up a different design for free:protest: Luckily I did no damage:poster_oops:

Had a look at it in Birmingham, looks as if they stole the basic shape from Optare. being a coachbuilder to trade I shudder to think how much it would cost to repair some of the large panels down the side. never the less it looks brill, hard to think it has come out of a British factory. :poster_oops: :ranting2:
