4x4's for Divers

   

For any of you running a Dive Centre, a Dive school, or actively involved in a Dive club, or indeed just a very active Diver, you have very specific needs regarding vehicle(s). In an ideal World you would no doubt expect to have several vehicles to meet your several needs.

Since for most of us it is not an ideal World we have to compromise, and deal with the various demands we have in the best way we can. Your vehicle needs are likely to include:-

  • Towing Vehicle, either long distance towing or short haul launch and recovery.
  • Goods Vehicle, van or similar for gear to pool or sea divers gear; stock for shop etc...
  • Passenger Vehicle, to carry divers to & from Dive Centre/sea; airport pick-ups; pub runs; pool tpt
  • Family/General Utility vehicle, to have for domestic needs and to facilitate other interests and activities; wind/surfing, hill walking, canoeing etc...

THE ALLROUNDER

The good news, I believe,  is that these 4 vehicles can be rolled into one, even better news is that I can supply you with such a vehicle as I have done for myself, at very little cost.

Prices of any and all vehicles are so ridiculous here and likewise the (probably) illegal VRT, and the absurd road tax on larger cars, that naturally this vehicle is imported and naturally we beat them at their own game regarding VRT and naturally road tax is at the commercial rate (£160).

LAND/ROVER DEFENDER LWB (110)

I have a very reliable source in the U.K. whose sole business is purchasing ex Army L/Rovers and adapting/refurbishing them to clients needs. The base vehicles are on average 10 years old, but with very low mileage and in excellent condition.

Many have been in storage as part of strategic reserves, with little or no active usage or have been used on a rotational basis. They therefore are effectively, in terms of normal usage a fraction of their real age. Being alloy bodies there is no question of rust and with strict Army Regulations, the servicing and general maintenance has been meticulous.

FITTED TO YOUR OWN SPEC.

The beauty of purchasing these vehicles is that you can have them fitted and finished to your own particular requirements.

Land Rovers above any other vehicle yet invented, are amazingly versatile and  adaptable.

Endless items can be bolted on and of course they can be altered and completely rebuilt like meccano sets! As an example I need to carry 11/12 divers and 11/12 dive bags over very hilly country for average 25 mile journeys, on Dive Holiday expeditions with some off-road  driving to and from hill walking sites. My L/Rover is consequently fitted out with inward facing bench seats in the rear; 3 seats in front; heavy duty roof rack with reinforcing struts to the chassis and additional lighting and storage boxes (for picnics  and wine cooler...!).

VEHICLE COST
Obviously, with such a wide range of options available, it is not possible to precisely quote a price. However a guideline price, landed, tax paid, finished to order should be in the region  of €8500, for an as- good- as- new, specialised  working vehicle that will run for years and years and at that price will retain its value for a very long time.

RANGE ROVERS REBUILDS
For those of you who want the ultimate in comfort and do not have the same commercial needs, (and a bit more money to spend) of course the Range Rover is the Divers dream! Again because of the absurd way our Country is run by  such a load of pathetic crooks, a new Range Rover is effectively put beyond the reach of most of us. However there is a way to beat them at their own game. If  you want a NEW Range Rover for considerably less than HALF PRICE of a new one, landed , taxes paid etc... give me a call or drop me a mail.
