UK Professional, John Hibbard,
gives us a tour around the Tushingham/Starboard
Bus.
"I have been driving this van to demos
and events for the last few years and spent many
a night sound asleep in the back. It is a Mercedes
Sprinter Medium Wheel base.
It can seat 5, three
in the front and two in the back. But remove
the head rests, put the seats back and it’s
converted into a cosy if not slightly snug bed."
However Roger Tushingham spared no expense with
the following extras:
- 2.9 Turbo Intercooler with 120 bhp
- Air conditioning
- Impressive stereo system with the ability to
plug your MP3 player into it
- Tinted windows
- Fully lined and carpeted in the rear.
It’s now got 115,000 miles on the clock
and could do with a clean but the Tushy Bus just
keeps on going from demo to demo. It can automatically
make its way to Rutland Water and The Witterings!

A comfy bed with a car park view. What more could you ask for after a hard session in the pub, sorry, on the water? |
