We undertake some specialised bespoke modification work to vehicles which are highly ingenious. This work is designed to suit the individual and the vehicle they are driving. Some of this work is amazing and over the next few weeks, we will be posting some case studies on this page.
Porsche Cayenne 2011 gearshift button depressant
Our client found us on the internet after taking his new car to 2 specialist motor companies who could not find a solution to his gearshift button issue. The button is on the back of the selector knob and our client was unable to depress it when changing gear. We designed and made a discreet depressant which is easy to operate.

Bespoke Landrover Discovery person hoist
Colin Javens, paralysed from shoulders down in an accident in 2000, used a tiny movement in one wrist to drive again and to launch "Driving Home": an inspirational fund-raising journey, with him at the wheel, from Stoke Mandeville Hospital to Cape Town. Cowal was asked to design, make and install a bespoke roof mounted person hoist which would operate from both the drivers door and passenger door assist Colin in entering and exiting the vehicle. This hoist had to be 'fail proof' and proved just that during his 6 month 22,000 km journey. Read his diary www.drivinghome.co.uk
