Foers Ibex now available as a kit again<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

John Foers is a long-established name in the UK kitcar industry. As far back as 1977, John was producing his Nomad kits (under the Foers Engineering name) was akin to a mini Land Rover and equally as capable off-road. Around 180 were sold. Another model, the Triton followed in 1985 although wasn\u2019t anything like as successful.<\/p>\n

When Foers came out with the excellent Ibex in 1988, the Nomad and Triton were sold on to another Rotherham company, called Dettech, run by Derek Chapman.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, John continued to develop his Ibex, a more rugged, beefier vehicle, which has an immensely strong steel monocoques arrangement and based on Land Rover Defender donor.<\/p>\n

Foers sold the project to Ricardo in 2004, before buying the project back in 2006 and commencing production again from his new base in Northumberland where he\u2019d moved in 2003.<\/p>\n

The Ibex is available in six model variations, 21 different configurations and in either 4×4 or 6×6 forms. John\u2019s son, David now runs the business and is back in Rotherham trading from the company\u2019s original factory.<\/p>\n

New electric version coming soon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

David developed the latest F8 version of the Ibex along with an exciting new electric version with deliveries expected to start later in 2021.<\/p>\n

The \u2018standard\u2019 versions use either four- or five-cylinder Land Rover petrol engines or a BMW straight-six 3-litre diesel, although the electric variant promises a big future for the company. The Ibex is available fully built or in kit form.<\/p>\n
