evo Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 hi all, some of you may know, I,ve got a severly disabled son who is now 10yrs old and is life limited , we are looking at getting the above car converted so as we can push him straight in and still in his wheelchair, what I am looking for is,, does any of the pigeon watch masses know of a company who can convert a Vauxhall zafira for me to take a wheelchair, I,ve looked on the internet for hours and everything seems to be via mobility and we do not want to go through mobility, the car will be a 2014 plate so basically brand new and we will need it so the wheelchair is in the centre and there is a seat either side, one for the carer and one for his sister, any phone numbers would be a great help so I can give them a ring and get some prices,,i know it will be a few grand but its got to be done, we have just saved a few bob buying a new zafira so the money we have saved will help pay for the conversion, we had been quoted £21,500 for the car fully converted but when we got the new car for the price we did it was better for us to buy it standard, then get it converted to take a wheelchair if we can hope you can help cheers Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
