Daihatsu-based GT 4x4


Scamp Mk 4
4x4


As Two-Wheel Drive is now deemed inadequate for off-road requirements, we now offer the perfect solution:
the Mk 4, appropriately known as the Mk 4x4.
This, the 4th version od the Scamp, is the spiritual sucessor to the established series of Mini-based Scamps. Now a Scamp is available which can go where few other
vehicles, of any description, can go.
With all four wheels being driven, the Mk 4x4 is an extremely capable off-roader.

Suzuki-basd Mk4x4

Whilst many off-roaders are large and potentially damaging to the environment, the Mk 4x4 benefits from our experience of specialised, light-weight vehicles. The conventional Scamps gained their uncanny ability to traverse seemingly treacherous landscapes due to the care taken in design to construct a strong chassis for the smallest penalty in weight. This technology is now incorporated in the Mk 4x4. The two versions of the Mk 4x4 differ only in choice of donor chassis: Suzuki SJ or Daihatsu FourTrack. In either case it is important to start with a good, rust free chassis: this is fairly easy to achieve as these donors were selected because they tend to suffer from premature rust only on the bodyshells.

Once the original tinwork is removed, the donor chassis can be cleaned and renovated as required. Thorough examination of all mechanical components and fuel and brake lines is easily achieved and any deficiencies speedily remedied. The replacement Scamp bodyframe can then be bolted into place: the original mounting points are employed for accurate and safe assembly. Unlike the Mini based kits, the builder only has to paint, trim and wire the new body: if a good quality donor is chosen the running gear can be left untouched.

Because the majority of mechanical components are retained from the donor,
at present the 4x4 is exempt from third party inspections.
However, as the regulations are constantly being reviewed, please contact us for the latest information.
