Morecambe driver Edward Richardson has recently switched his TXII for a brand new Mercedes-Benz M8 and is enjoying the step up in class.

"My TX was okay but I had the usual problems you hear most drivers going on about.  That's one of the main reasons I decided to switch and go for something more prestigious," commented Edward.  

Having read about the M8 Edward decided to contact Cab Direct and ask for his local area sales manager to meet him for a test drive.

"The M8 was exactly what I had in mind with its superb build quality and versatility.  It didn't take long for me to sign up and the vehicle was with me in what felt like no time at all." enthused Edward.

"The M8 is an excellent vehicle for every job imaginable, whether it's an airport run or a trip to the local supermarket.  The ExtraSlide rear seat means I can carry 6 or 7 passengers with luggage."

The M8 has a number of huge benefits that set it apart from the competition but one of the main ones is its excellent wheelchair accessibility.  

Edward explains, "My regular wheelchair passengers think the vehicle is great. In fact everyone does which is probably why I seem to be busier and covering more miles than ever before.  In fact I've already clocked up over 33,000 miles since receiving my M8 SE only five months ago."

Although the vehicle's main features make it highly practical it's the smaller details that give it something extra.

"The driving position is much better than my old cab and even the stereo system is a bit special.  You could probably say it has every touch of class you'd expect from a Mercedes."
