Spondon & District Off Road Club is a Derbyshire based 4×4 club, with members from across the Midlands region. Our members participate in Treasure Hunt and Gymkhana type off-road events in a relaxed, family friendly but marshal controlled environment. We have various types of cane trial sections at our events, with other non-competitive sections for new members and novice drivers to try. We try to cater for all types of 4 wheel drive vehicles (sorry, no quad bikes). Road legal and trailered vehicles are welcome at our events, but all vehicles must meet minimum scrutineering requirements (no scrap yard specials!). Under 14’s are also allowed to drive when accompanied by an over 18 full licence holder, subject to signed parental consent.
We encourage 4×4 owners to utilise the full potential of their own vehicle, ensuring maximum adventure and fun. We hold regular offroading days/weekends ( at various sites around the Midlands area, with one or two trips further afield throughout the year.
If you’re an experienced off roader who doesn’t want the expense and competition of full blown challenge events, or a complete novice who is looking to pick someone’s brains about why something broke or how to fix it, why not give us a try? Take a look around our site, our FAQ’s section should answer all your questions, but if you need any further information, or want to join our club, please contact our Club Secretary Trevor Harrison, using the contact form, or call mobile 07976 586812 (no calls after 9pm please!), who will be pleased to help you.
For a great dirty weekend, Spondon Off Road, your local 4×4 club!

OOOOOOOOOk due to Australia emigration.
With much regret I am selling my RRC Offroader.

On the RRC:
3.9 V8 with ZF auto
Lifted by 3″
QT Weekender suspension kit, Front and Rear.
Rear +5″ Shocks
NO sagging headlining, fixed by me with fresh material
Megajolt with EDIS 8 all working.

Other Gear:
4 x RRC doors same colour in good condition

2 x Recovery ropes
2 x Front Pro comp 15″ travel brand new to be fitted.
Snorkel and fitted airbox

Bad Bits:
RR has no MOT at the moment, and I don’t intend to get one.
Power steering box leaks
Power steering box needs new droparm or ball joint
As you can see by the pics, used offroad, and looks like it, this is not a concours car.

This is being advertised for Jed as he cannot remember his user name.
This caravan is a Lunar 2 berth, mid 2 late 80′s in very good condition, it is powered by battery, gas and electric hookup.
It does require a portaloo, a mains hookup cable and a battery, but every thing else comes with it, it would be ideal for Clyro! “hint hint” or any holiday. £550 obo please contact Jed on 07813504140 pics can be sent via email or phone, or just come and look! cheers and see you at Clyro.
