"Experience travelling history and relax in the comfort of our heritage 23 seat Plaxton mini supreme bodied Mercedes."
The Blue Motors
of Exmoor
"Exmoor Delight"
- C930 LMW
- Year: 1985
- Mercedes 608/Plaxton Mini Supreme
- 23 seats
Only a handful of these coaches were built by Plaxton using the parts of their full size range fitted on the early but very reliable Merc chassis to create a spacious comfortable smaller vehicle with large panoramic windows. Delight has proved very popular with passengers, entering Blue Motors service in 2002, and continues to be the mainstay of the special Exmoor byways excursions provided by the Blue Motors.
