Yomper set to shake up utility market
A West Yorkshire based start-up has created a bespoke vehicle that’s built to order and answers the demand for a cheap, affordable and reliable utility 4x4 that’s small enough to go where other offroaders can’t. The Yomper is available in tray back ‘Bergan’, or alloy drop side ‘Commercial’ specifications in either 225 or 275 size wheelbases. Although there are other companies that offer Suzuki Jimny pickup conversions, what differentiates the Yomper is that it’s built upon a specially adapted long wheelbase chassis. What that means is that all of their vehicles attain IVA approval which they say is proof that their design and manufacturing approach is the correct one to take. Under the bonnet, the Yomper uses the standard robust Suzuki 1.3-litre 16v petrol engine, as part of the purchase cost the engine and running gear is comprehensively overhauled and rebuilt in-house with many new components and serious upgrades to ensure its ability as a workhorse, making it as close as possible to a brand new vehicle as is reasonably possible. The Yomper has been engineered to take a payload of 500kg and comes with a 12 month warranty making it ideal for farm applications, off-road utility or sports and leisure pursuits. The conversion cost is negotiable depending on personal specification, but it is possible to have a Yomper, on-the-road, for below £20,000. more at » www.yomper4x4.co.uk THEMUDLIFE.CO.UK
