For the third consecutive year, Arnold Clark Automobiles, in conjunction with Motability, hosted its hugely popular Arnold’s Motability Roadshow at the SECC in Glasgow, with free entry for all. The event gives those eligible for the Higher Rate Disability Living Allowance or the War Pensioners’ Mobility supplement the opportunity to view an extensive range of cars available through the Motability Scheme and enjoy a superb day of fun and entertainment.
Allied Mobility again supported the show, displaying their popular new wheelchair accessible vehicle, the Fiat Freedom Compact.
Based on the popular Fiat Doblo, the Freedom WAV is available from Allied at a low Advanced Payment and features lightweight folding wheelchair ramp and easy-to-use wheelchair restraint system.
As well as a showcasing a fantastic range of cars, the event allowed visitors to sample a tasty treat from Tunnock’s or get pampered by Virgin Vie. The amazing Wheelchair Woodturners arts and crafts group was also in action, all of whom all were present on the day.
The ever popular prize draw also returned to the event this year, with prizes including £1000 cash and a Nintendo Wii. Allied Mobility offered visitors a free Tom Tom satellite navigation system if they ordered a mobility car on the day.
Scott Abernethy, mobility consultant with Allied, said: “The show is a fantastic way to highlight the range of vehicles available to disabled individuals, their carers and their families. We had a great day at the SECC and the show attracted a large number of visitors and so was a brilliant success. We look forward to supporting Arnold Clark next year!”
