Our vehicles at work

20-03-2007, 15:01

I have just seen a bit of a documentary on TV from longleat safari park,

they are running a zebra painted TDI Maverick left-hand drive,

snorkelled
roof rack like the 110 landy type
rear door ladder upto roof rack
full nudgebar
and stainless steel cover (missing our logo lol)

snorkel looks to be from a discovery, plastic corrugated tubing and mushroom snorkel top

so if anyone goes to longleat at anytime can you try and give it once over and see if they will let you take some pix of the engine bay for the snorkel modifications they have done please.

Judging by the carparks/yards the company car for the A1 motorway upgrade (Yorkshire region) the other year must have been Terranos.
