Anyone used Specialist Leisure?
« on: August 15, 2005, 20:49:14 »
Just wondering if anyone has used www.specialist-leisure.co.uk and if so how they got on.

I have emailed them about a winch bumper for an Isuzu that may fit my Frontera and just wondered what they are like.

As for price, they had some very good deals at Billing.

Cheers for the info Peter.

Thanks for the offer Nev.  Unfortunately being of ... robust* build, I usually enjoy a nice breeze through the window.

Do you mean Patrick (of white Wrangler  & red Hummer) Kears, I know him (a friend of bro-in-law) & he still lives a few miles from me, as far as I know.

He's got quite a collection of JEEP rarities (or had, anyway)

Good guy Pat - a real enthusiast.

Okay, he maybe into Jeeps, but we don't hold that against him! Gotta say, he's not blinkered so can see the best (and worst) in all 4x4's.

Quite simply, I'd rather be dealing with an enthusiast on the end of the phone rather than a machine spurred on simply by pound notes and nowt else.

Too true.  So far anyone I have spoken to about 4x4's seems to be happy to go out of their way to help you.  Members here, Devon 4x4 and the Mud Club admins.

It's like walking into a pub for the first time and reaching the bar to find the landlord polishing a mug with you name on and moving towards your favirote drink pump.

I am sure there are some right gits (the Land Cruiser onwer mentioned in the August TOR Triangle Vert article comes to mind) but I am yet to speak to one.

Last year I purchased a high lift from Specialist Leisure at one of the year. I also wanted 90/110 adapter which they weren't able to supply at that time but when one became available posted it out to me at no extra charge.

Although some of there items may be a bit expensive I can't fault their customer service.

Remember i'm a Land Rover driver and all of the products i've looked at were more expensive than other sources.
Compared to Paddocks/Craddocks and even Scorpion Racing they are slightly dearer.
As i said, great products, but slightly over priced for the person that can shop around.


PS, wicked stand at Billing!!
Loved this Land Rover
