The standard specification is certainly extensive. Based on the Streamline Topline cab, it includes the Black Leather V8, Driver, Griffin and Prestige packs. Furthermore, adaptive cruise control, advanced emergency braking, lane departure warning, a kitchenette and a television plus DVD player are also fitted.
