Wallace Arnold first introduced the innovative 'Grand Tourer' concept in 2001.For a supplement, holiday travellers could experience additional comfort features including more legroom, leather seats, a seperate rear lounge,GPS to allow customers to track their journey on a monitor, and a multi track sound system with individual headphones. So successful was the idea that many other UK tour operators soon copied it. This coach was one of fifteen Van Hool Volvos delivered to the merged WA Shearings fleet for the 2006 season to a similar design to the original specification, still with 36 seats but without the lounge.

Model length 160mm.
