Dear Martin,
This page:
http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/square/ae208/
has some interesting possibilities. I'm sure that Dave Laycock et al will
give you more specific information regarding wheelchairs. This site has
second hand and other wheelchairs and accessories which may be of use to
your friend.
Regards,
Celia

be able to help. A friend of mine has sadly just suffered a bad spinal
injury, and will require a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He is keen
to get out of his ward, and some of the rest of the people in the ward are
starting to get chairs, and mobility adaptations made to their vehicles.

wheelchairs? What are the market pitfalls etc.?
