transglobe differences by midlandgardencare on Sat Dec 31, 2011 12:16 am
ive got a 1998 r reg'd frontera transglobe. i'd like to know what is different or special about it compared to a 'normal' frontera? does it mean i can drive it round the globe on a tank of diesel? :think: (i wish)

There should be a TransGlobe brochure in the forum site somewhere - remember reading it a while back and it gives a brief insight to the expedition and the resultant commemorative cars.

Click on the "wiki" icon above which takes you to the main page, then scroll down to the "FOG downloads", there you should be directory which includes the Transglobe brochure.

I missed out the bit where you should click on the "A series" when it appears in the main index.

thanks for that. it made for a very interesting read especialy the dimensions, weights, tow weights and mpg extimates. maybe when i eventually get the fuel guage working properly i can compare and it wont seem so thirsty

as ive mensioned on a different thread i am also a member of the austin a30 &a35 owners club and they hold annual rallies that are held in different european countries each year and owners and enthusiasts drive from all over europe to shows some even drove from holland one year to the uk in a 50 odd year old 1litre car. ive not been a member on here for very long but maybe there should be an annual frontera only show.
