Devon operator Blakes Coaches was delighted to come away from the UK Coach Rally with silverware for its i6 integral, supplied by Irizar UK (01909 500514).
The 13.2m tri-axle won the Irizar Trophy, much to the delight of Hannah Blake, because she was the person who decided to buy it and who was involved in specifying everything on the luxury touring coach.
She carefully built it from the ground up to include 53 i6 Plus seats, a toilet, a drinks machine, a twin-screen DVD system and USB charging points throughout, among other items.
“I just got back from a tour to Looe in Cornwall. My co-driver and I agreed that the engine and gearbox combination were ideal,” she says.
