Overview

For many years, Plaxton of Scarborough has been at the forefront of British coachbuilding and has been the leading light in design and technological advancement on numerous occasions. During the 1960s, the Panorama was the best-selling British-built coach body, and its successor the Panorama Elite introduced several ground-breaking features we take for granted in coach bodies of today. The story of these elegant Yorkshire-built icons is told through 180 colour photographs, all taken during their operating heyday and accompanied by informative and sometimes humorous captions.
