Fiat Sponsers Childrens Charity With Doblo Van Gift
Published Date: 07 March 2011
A leading children's charity is set to benefit from Fiat's
generosity after taking delivery of a Fiat Doblò Cargo van for help
with a new international project.
Special needs holiday trust, 24x7 Ltd, will use the
diesel-powered Cargo 1.6 SX MultiJet at its Centre Algarve
development on the Portuguese coast. Managing director Andy Mahoney
took delivery of the vehicle yesterday (24 February).
Centre Algarve is Europe's first holiday centre to
cater exclusively for customers with special needs. A former
holiday complex, the property is in need of total refurbishment -
much of which is being carried out by volunteers. When complete,
the Centre will have 14 bedrooms, a swimming pool, sensory garden
and animal sanctuary.
"This means so much more than just a van to us," says Andy
Mahoney. "Having a high profile company such as Fiat supporting us
raises our profile and should encourage others to help us too.
"The Doblò Cargo is a superb van and will be a great help with
all the building work we have planned for Centre
Algarve."
"We are delighted to be able to support this fabulous charity,
which is giving so much to people with special needs," adds Simon
Wheeler, fleet and remarketing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK.
"There is much to be done at Centre Algarve for which a
good van will be essential, so I'm pleased for the Centre that the
vehicle will be a Doblò Cargo."
The Fiat Doblò Cargo range starts at £11,395 (basic price) for
the 1.4 16v Petrol, rising to £16,295 (basic price) for the Maxi SX
2.0 MultiJet 16v Diesel.
