Interior space was always high on the agenda when looking for a new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle for Exeter-based Liam and his family: along with his large Spectra powered wheelchair, Liam also travels with additional equipment for his needs, as well as his Care Team.
The Brotherwood ‘Klastar’ conversion for the Mercedes-Benz V-Class had everything they were looking for – space, style and comfort. A private factory tour even gave Liam and mum Sue the chance to see the Brotherwood conversion process for themselves, to further highlight the quality of engineering involved.

Brotherwood were delighted to deliver a brand new Mercedes-Benz ‘Klastar’ Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle as part of a very special delivery to Aurelia in Gloucestershire.
Aurelia had a special request for the handover of her shiny new Cavansite Blue V-Class – the addition of a pink bow which the Brotherwood Team were happy to provide.
After waiting patiently for her new WAV to be built, converted and delivered, Aurelia can’t wait to get out and about this summer – we hope Aurelia enjoys many happy miles!
