SAFETY

We have been committed to customer safety since the 1960's. As an example, in the early 1980's the department of transport could not decide whether kit cars needed a physical seat belt anchorage test.
Rather than waiting for them to decide, we took it upon ourselves (at considerable expense) to do a full, physical type approval seat belt anchorage test.
The pictures below show two of our cars being tested by Motor Industry Research Association (MIRA) the world renowned testing centre - needless to say all our cars passed first time.

RELIABILITY AND QUALITY


Dutton amphijeep reliable amphibious cars

Our best advert ever, sold new in 2000, used heavily by the same owner and still going strong today!

For 43 years Tim Dutton has been building cars that are deliberately basic - this means they are easy and inexpensive to service / repair anywhere in the World. Many amphibious companies have come (and all gone) who build 'so called' high-tech "state of the art" craft - and why are none of them still around? Because they are unreliable and stop working when they get wet.

WARRANTY

It doesn't matter how many degrees or diplomas you have there can NEVER be a substitute for 43 years of continual vehicle production. At Dutton we can look at a component and "see" what it will look like in 10 years time and design / position it accordingly - you certainly can't learn that looking at a computer screen. This is borne out by our spectacular lack of warranty claims. In 23 years and well over 120 amphibious cars all we have replaced under warranty is one self-locking nut, a clutch cable, an air conditioning hose and a hydraulic hose (and three of the four claims were down to the original part supplier). Indeed we have not received ANY warranty claims from anyone since we phased out the 2wd Dutton in 1999 and we don't think there are many other vehicle manufacturers who can claim that.
