With the ramps shown in there tilted position, the front is at a height of 33 inches from the ground to the bottom of the tread.

This Corvette model is one of three in the uk.

The owner is currently upgrading the exhaust system, which look as big as drain pipes to help the engine produce around 455 bhp.

Mustang, owned by Mr Allen of Scotland

This Mustang has been highly tuned from factory standard and the owner says, he gets more attention from the public than from some of the other cars you can see ! or cannot see ? in the picture.

Road salt is more frequently used in Scotland, so for car owners who would like to keep their cherished ones in top condition, the ramps will definitely pay for themselves in making it easy to stop corrision problems in there tracks.

Factory built Sebring V8

Mr Harrison from Whitehaven,The Lake district, could not use a normal trolley jack to raise his car because of the low ground clearence.

The car was built to his own spec,main features include Rover V8 4.6 with webber carb, Granada Cosworth IRS axle,17''Image wheels and full stainless steel exhaust system.

The car weighs in at 1180 kg and the engine produces 300hp so it is fairly brisk which must be most enjoyable on the local roads in his area,(A595).

The car has been featured in many kit car magazines and has won concour awards as well.

Very low sport's car !

This Vauxhall VX 220 owned by Mr Robinson of Bedford has been lowered by 60mm from standard.By supplying adjustable two section 8ft lead up ramps the car drives on easily.

Mr Williams from the Maidstone area in kent, likes to maintain his cars himself. Apart from using the ramps to maintain the TVR he is also restoring a Lancia Beta which requires quite a lot of welding, being Italian.

Ferrari 308

Not many Ferrari owners can get acess like this at home in their own garage.
Mr De Silva services and maintains the car himself, which must save him a fortune !

He has a vast range of skills relating to cars and boats and also provides a shrink wrap service for marine, aviation, construction and agriculture clients.

Jowett Jupiter owned by a Mr Woodford near Bath

This car was built in 1952 and are now quite rare. The body panels were hand crafted from aluminium, which is mounted on a very strong tubular chassis, probaly made by Brunel!
The engine is a flat four 1500cc, which is mounted in front of the radiator.

The most interesting feature is the bonnet, or how it opens.You unscrew two chrome knobs on the bumper, which then folds down and you can gain excellent access to the engine bay as seen in the picture below.

This 12ft model splits into six sections rather then the normal four as the customer will be storing them in the loft of his new garage, when not in use.
