OTABILITY is celebrating its 21 st birthday this year and has now reached


\ another milestone in its history - the millionth vehicle on the Motability I Scheme,


Motability was set up on the


initiative of the government in 1977 to provide cars and pow­ ered wheelchairs to disabled


people. The first Motabilily car was


supplied in 1978, and since then more than 1,000,000 cars

scheme now has more than 370,000 customers driving or being driven on the road to free­


dom. Disabled people receiving


the Higher Rate Mobility Com­ ponent of the Disability Living Allowance or the War Pension­ ers' Mobility Supplement can use their allowance towards the cost of obtaining a car through the Motability scheme. Special terms have been


arranged with motor manufac­ turers, banks and insurers, so that today a variety of schemes can be offered to enable dis­ abled people to become mobile. Through Motabilily's con­


tract hire scheme, disabled peo­ ple - including children from the age of five - can acquire a new vehicle from a wide-rang­ ing list of approved manufactur­ ers. All maintenance and servic­ ing costs are covered, together with comprehensive insurance and recovery service member­

scheme vehicles are available through a national network of Molability accredited, first class


suppliers. Customers agree to pay over


all or part of their allowance, depending on their choice of vehicle, for the duration of the three year agreement. For cars at the lower end of the price spectrum, available with no advance payment, this is the only financial commitment the disabled person has to make, apart from petrol and oil. For other models, the cus­


tomer may be reciuired to make an advance payment. This is because the allowance alone is insufficient to cover the cost of providing the vehicle for the three year term. The amount of the advance payment will vary according to the cost of the


vehicle. For people who want to buy


their vehicles, Motability offers an HP scheme under which finance can be provided towards new and used cars in return for all, or part, of their allowance. The HP scheme also covers powered wheel chairs and scooters. Many people who rely on


the Motabilily scheme need financial help to pay for adapta­ tions or a larger car to suit their particular disability, which they desperately need but could not otherwise afford. The Molabilily charitable


fund provides grants to pay for such things as hand controls, swivel seals, automatic trans­ mission, wheelchair hoists, advance payments and special
