We run an 07 plate one of these on our company as hackney... Works really well... Not the full M1 spec as only half bulkhead and no safety partition...

the standard 9 seat (8 pass) layout is with a double front passenger seat, or at least thats the factory built Tourneo, and leaving some luggage space behind the rear seats

youd have to have a wraparound screen to isolate the driver, i cant see that being very nice

mine had 8 seats (7 pass) with a single front passenger seat, but they are spacious and i had room for 7 nightclub bouncers on nights out, never had problems find a parking spot oddly....

how you get 8 in an E7 is beyond me......

Thanks for replys I don't want one that wraps around the driver it's not really for security it's more to keep smelly punters in the back ect lol. Managed to find what I was after not ordered yet though from a company in Ireland called onlinetaxistore.com £950 delivered buys the bulkhead with seats partion ect.
