Default Saturn Sports Cars Ltd

It just so happens that Saturn Sports Cars is literally 10mins down the road from me and i have already met the two Andys a few times so i went over on wednesday to pay visit them at their new unit. (and because im nosey )

I wasnt sure what to expect but i was impressed, its a decent size and nice and clean, room for two chassis builds on tables, a cutting area, a good long work bench along one side and still room for a few customers cars if needed. They were also just putting the finishing touches to a dedicated fibre glassing area that they have built a wall around to ensure its kept clean and away from all the grinding etc.

All in all very good and they seem to have planned it perfectly, its certainly gonna be a one stop shop for everything roadster. Also the fact that andyh has finished a roadster and handandy has almost finished one makes them very knowledable indeed (im gonna beat you to it now your busy handyandy ) Whilst i was there i ordered my body........ probably be the first full roadster body kit out of the moulds at saturn

AndyH texted me today to say that my David Dickinson couloured gelcoat had arrived and they said they should have my body done by the end of next week speedy customer service or what!

I will post up some pics of the completed body so people can see the quality which im positive will be as good as fabbys. I also think anybody who is planning on going to stonleigh next year in their finished roadster needs to get a body ordered soon to avoid disappointment as i can invisage them being extremely busy in the near future especially when the single seater is launched.

Keep up the good work lads
