The Brief

The client for this was one of our Director's - Tom. This is the original Squire car. Tom wanted to create the ultimate shooting vehicle, including gun and kit storage, facilities for a hot meal and a good coffee, and a beast of an infotainment system.

The Solution

We started off by stripping back the donor vehicle and creating a clean slate. As it’s Tom, grey was the only option, and black leather was going to be the most forgiving as he was going to get this car messy to say the least. As well as the gun box with custom cut foam to house two shotguns and cartridges, we added a removable gun rack. On top of the custom hospitality drawer we added a hot water dispenser and coffee mug storage, and installed insulated food storage with plenty of room for pasties and sausage rolls. We also made sure to cater for Tom’s love of cigars, with storage, lighter and cutter included. We finally added a touchscreen sat nav system with Apple car play, immersive speaker set and mood lighting.
