December 2018
called upon to fit out a brand new car,
say where leather seats are preferred.
They are fully licenced to undertake and
to self-certify all such works.
The disability access work extends well
beyond the traditional bus access lift
platforms, to fully integrated access and
ride safety systems. We were given a
demonstration of a Swedish “Car Seat”
which sits as any other passenger seat
in the car, ie it utilises the same seat
belts and has the same air bag protec-
tion, but is fully programmable to self-
lower from the car onto a wheel chair
chassis, so eliminating any manual han-
dling. For the disabled driver, Willshire
can install all the necessary vehicle con-
trol systems.
Projects that we saw included a full inter-
nal fit out of a magnificent 60’s Ferrari
330GT and of a very nice Karmann
Ghia. mobile homes, ambulance and
various community buses.
So if you need any internal work done to
your vehicle you’d be mad not to speak
23
to Willshire. and many thanks to Daryl
for his time, for his interesting and de-
tailed briefing and for his hospitality.
