Andy Saunders is a creator of all kinds, and from all his work to face a car 6 wheels, l'assorted Transporta, Citroen CX plate that allowed him to carry his paddle steamer…
He was born in the USA, in Los Angeles and then went to live in England in Dorset. To live and finance its projects, it repairs and modifies cars and engines by himself, it customizes cars. He was noticed by film producers and then put to special vehicles. He later become car designer, boats, amphibians, etc.

Runaground

To explain the following, I begin with this strange boat with wheels 1986 for which I do not know much, otherwise it does not float, but it is approved as a car, for the road !

Climb on 3 wheels and powered as a car, he participated in an American television show “Car Crasy” and sauntered in with the streets of Paris !

Today, Runaground to finish his race in the Beaulieu Motor Museum, in front of the White Island with the famous Bluebird.

The Audition

Among the creations of Andy Saunders, we find an Audi 200 Turbo in the manner Lowrider, mounted with 4 independent hydraulic pumps that allow for deflections 20 inch rear and 10 inch front. The car is capable of “dance” tailored. It has actually nothing extraordinary, but that is simply explain later in this article and to show that Andy Saunders knows the topic of hydraulic suspensions !


The pumps are installed at the back and feed each suspension arm


A dance Audi 200 !

Carry suit

But then, how easily carry a paddle steamer ? In my opinion, when looking around, one quickly falls on Tissier trays, and we did the same thing !!!
a CX, 6 wheels, hydraulic dampers and a tray adapted to the boat. The somewhat different thing is to make loading and unloading the boat, when the rear of the drop CX, front rises, giving a better slope to the car, as the Audi 200, almost instantly.

the Asorta Transporta is also able to carry cars.
Note that rear flatness.

The Asorta Transporta has been sold to a German Citroëniste.

Other creations

Andy Saunders sold the Lancia Stratos Bertone Replica, this very beautiful replica made in England which sold at auction last year (RM/Sotheby’s). The replica is made by Saunders Customs and he can remake others on request.
