ARGO 8x8 AVENGER 8x8 700 and 750 Top of the Argo Range !

Yes, this is the one to have, as supplied by us to Jeremy Clarkson international motoring journalist and television presenter of BBC TOP GEAR and other popular programmes. The AVENGER 8x8 is the latest addition and the most powerful of the ARGOCAT line up of amphibious all terrain vehicles. AVENGER offers the redesigned gearbox, chassis and steering controls giving the operator smoother transition over all types of terrain. Designed for those who demand the best that will stand the test of time, the AVENGER is an amphibious, eight wheel drive, multi passenger vehicle that combines comfort and ruggedness with innovative and unique features all introduced in 2004.

The all season AVENGER has extraordinary capabilities. It operates in most challenging terrain, including mud and mountains, snow and ice, sand and marsh, and will go across small bodies of water.

The all wheel drive AVENGER has a load capacity of 521kgs and can tow up to 818kgs. Power comes via a 674cc four stroke unleaded petrol V twin liquid cooled engine. This proven and reliable KOHLER engine features full pressure lubrication and combines strong smooth acceleration with low emmission. It uses unleaded petrol and comes with a three year warranty. AVENGER 8x8 is offered with either the 26HP Kolher or the 31HP EFI Kohler unit.

Best of all, there is comfortable seating for up to six people. AVENGER owners and their passengers will appreciate the vehicle's ample legroom, its ergonomic handlebar steering and the smooth ride. The AVENGER's excellent approach and departure angles make it easy to pursue the most adventurous of out door activities.

Eight Goodyear Rawhide III tyres put down the power to the ground responsibily. Their low ground pressure minimises the environmental footprint of the vehicle and protects the countryside. AVENGER offesr ground clearance of 91/2 inches, hydraulic vented disc brakes, a 12 volt 40 amp hour charging circuit and a new state of the art automatic high and low CVT transmission. All vehicle systems and components have been engineered to maximise durability and ease of maintenance.
