Orange 4x4 Ltd is owned and run by self-confessed Land Rover enthusiast and off-road expert Tom Parkes.
It builds on the continued success of 4x4 Adventure Tours ltd which has been running offroad and overland tours since 2010.
Tom's obsession with Land Rovers started when he bought and re-built a 1960 Series 2 which had been used as a St John's ambulance. Re-named Russell (the Rover), he drove it overland from Bristol to Cape Town in 2001.
