THOMAS HEATON

5 years ago, landscape photographer Thomas Heaton called Edward to discuss importing and preparing a Delica L400. He wanted it prepared to the highest standard and wanted long term support, if and when required. Tom confirmed it would be used for his photography adventures. We had a couple available, but both were already sold. So, the search was on to find Tom his perfect 4X4 companion for his photography exploits!

This fabulous black over grey Delica was methodically prepared over many weeks and we fitted a new curtain set, towbar, BF Goodrich tyres and an upgraded Pioneer head unit at Tom’s request. Throughout the years, this L400 served Tom so well with bullet proof reliability he could count on, travelling to Iceland through Scandinavia, Ireland and of course all over the UK. It featured in a huge number of his YouTube films and the combination of it’s 4WD capability, adaptability and comfort got him and his equipment to places that few other vehicles could match. Over the last 5 years we have looked after this Delica for Tom with servicing, underbody waxing and also prepared it for his trip to Iceland with the addition of the snorkel.

Tom contacted us to ask if we would like to purchase it back now that he required a much larger vehicle. He wanted it re-preparing again and wanted us to find someone who would get as much enjoyment and use out of it as he did. We have now found the perfect customer or they have found their perfect L400!
