Amputee Society of Hawkes Bay/East Coast Inc

Due to the sad passing of one of our Executive members and dedicated member of the Waikato, BOP and Districts Society, a modified vehicle is for sale. Unfortunately he had only had the car post modifications for 2 weeks before his passing but they are fully certified hand controls and it has a valid Reg and WOF.

Please contact the society directly on the phone number below if you have any questions.

🦿🙌The Pro Armour PLUS! 🦿🙌

Designed with a unique low-profile and non-slip rubberised sole, wet areas can now be easily navigated. Walking around home, standing in the bathroom, watersports, and visiting the beach are no longer seen as obstacles.

Have the freedom and confidence to do what you love, ask your prosthetist for a Pro Armour PLUS today!
