Judges define the Bailey Approach Autograph 765 as “A true family motorhome at an affordable price”
Motorhome manufacturer, Bailey of Bristol, have won first and second place, respectively, in its class, in what seemed to be nothing less than a display of dominance at The Caravan Club Motor Caravan Design and Drive Awards 2014.
Both the Bailey Approach Autograph 740 and Bailey Approach Autograph 765, were bestowed the honour in the Coachbuilt Motorhome £45,000 to £60,000 class and, despite being a relative newcomer to the motorhome market – having ventured into this field just three years ago – Bailey seems to be going from strength to strength, with three second places, two Class Winners and one Overall Winner since launching the range.
This year’s judges said it was “hard to find fault” with the winning Approach Autograph 740, and considered it to be “a beautifully presented, well thought-out vehicle” which offered “tremendous value for money.”
We can’t help but feel as though the twin parallel seat, fully-specified Alde radiator heating system, as well as elevated front lounge, helped the 740 rise to the top of the pile. And, as for the 765? Well the runner up certainly raised a few eyebrows, being described as “a true family motorhome at an affordable price.”
Simon Howard, Marketing Director of Bailey of Bristol, who collected the cut-glass trophy at the awards ceremony which took place at the Institute of Civil Engineers in London this week commented:
“We’d like to thank The Caravan Club for running this annual awards competition, particularly in light of the logistics involved. We really value the feedback we receive from the judges which is useful in helping design better vehicles for our customers in the future.”
