Caterham Seven Car

[ozymandias]

Out of interest, Rennie Rd/Drive in Dartford, where is it? I can't pinpoint it or even remember it.
Living in the Dartford area for the first 45 years of my life I do not know of it.
Apparently the Caterham car company is/has moved there and are doing tours.
Later this month I'm doing a tour of the Morgan car factory in Malvern Links and I'd really like to follow that with a tour in my home town.
May even get to combine it with a home game.

It’s off of Bob Dunn Way near the new Bridge Estate where Littlebrook Power Station was. I used to work at Europa that is on Rennie Road.

Thanks for that people, I take it it's also near the old Joyce Green hospital site.

Yes you can either access it from the first roundabout by the crossing/new Mercedes roundabout, or next roundabout onto Bridge estate. All depends on the delightful traffic in that area!!

Thanks Clare.

I have just got back from Malvern and while there I did the tour of the Morgan car factory. Fascinating the amount of professional work carried out throughout the whole process.
I'm not really a car buff or a petrol head but I did enjoy the Morgan experience and full intend to go down to the Caterham one also.
I enjoyed it so much that I bought a fridge magnet.
Well the Super 8 did cost £204,000

How much was the fridge magnet mate

£3.95.

Caterham is mass production compared with Morgan. Their cars are somewhat cheaper, but are great fun to drive. They take a lot of punishment on the race track. Not to be recommended for a journey of more than one hour as they are not renown for their comfort.

That covers journeys to most of our opponents in the Isthmian Prem. although car sharing might be a bit tight…

According to the tour guide chappie Germany are the biggest buyers of the Morgan followed closely by the oil rich Middle East countries and Indonesia.
In fact, while we were going round we had the constant chatter going on behind us of a young lady and a swarthy looking gentleman who looked very Middle Eastern.
You are asked not to touch any parts on work benches and stick to the channels. But this guy kept wandering off with wandering hands.
Obviously the money was doing the talking.
