I visited Southern Mobility Vehicles during Autumn 2017 to investigate the possibility of obtaining a vehicle that I could access using my mobility scooter and transfer to the drivers seat without need of assistance. The excellent website displayed several vehicles with electric rear doors/ramps with access to the drivers seat and three Volkswagen Transporter Minibuses that looked very suitable. During my visit, Patrick was very helpful and showed a clear understanding of my complex requirements. I chose a VW Transporter with a rear hydraulic lift and electric door that easily allowed access to the vehicle and an open pathway to the drivers seat. I did not like the hand controls that were fitted and I found the steering heavy for my needs. This was resolved by the vehicle going to Steering Development Ltd for fitting of lightened power steering then delivery to my home address for my usual suppliers to fit new hand controls. This all involved a lot of administration and considerable patience by Patrick which he was happy to do. All in all a very satisfactory experience that has given me the freedom to drive independently again. I would happily recommend SMV and Patrick to find a vehicle to suit the needs of disabled drivers.
