A New Citroen Relay gets the Bespoke SCW Touch

Written By Madison Wiggins

Last week we had the pleasure of handing over our latest wheelchair accessible conversion, designed for a returning customer based in Eastbourne. Built on the new L3H2 Citroen Relay, this accessible vehicle showcases the bespoke Stanfords touch in every detail.

 

The Bespoke Stanfords Touch

The bespoke Stanford Coachworks touch is defined by craftmanship. Every vehicle is individually built from start to finish by a dedicated team of just two coachbuilders - ensuring true continuity, care and pride in every detail, rather than a production line approach. We only use premium components that are tried and tested, then elevate each build with bespoke features such as custom-stitch roof and feature panels, modesty screens proudly bearing the Stanfords logo, seamlessly integrated USB / USBc charging sockets and more.

This combination of personal craftmanship, premium materials and bespoke detailing embodies the Stanford Coachworks ethos: vehicles individually designed and built to meet each customer’s specific requirements.

 

What Will the Vehicle Be Used For?

The new bespoke wheelchair accessible vehicle will be used for a wide range of specialist journeys, tailored to meet each passenger’s individual needs. The vehicle has been designed to provide full wheelchair accessibility, making it ideal for shopping trips with a personal assistant if required, as well as travel to doctors and hospital appointments. It will also support care home transfers and airport journeys, ensuring comfort and dignity throughout. Beyond these, the vehicle is adaptable for any specific requirements.

 

The Stanfords Conversion

The specialist vehicle is based on the new Citroen Relay L3H2 and has been expertly converted to deliver safe, comfortable and accessible transport. It features a Ricon internal tail lift and an electric side step for smooth entry and exit. Inside, the vehicle features premium SCW Eclipse seating for six passengers, plus seating for two additional passengers and driver in the front cabin. The passenger saloon also includes heating and air conditioning, LED roof and low-level lighting, a wheelchair restraint storage box and upper cant rail tracking to support secure and flexible wheelchair transport.
