Dear All,

Saturn have now been trading for 3 months and now have a known cost base to work from and as such can revise the prices for in house products, bought in products will remain as they are. As such the website and stores have been adjusted to reflect this.

Amended price summary as follows:

Full 10 piece Gel Coated GRP Haynes body kit c/w Aeroscreen and Bulkhead - £885 to £770
Full 6 piece Gel Coated GRP Haynes body kit c/w Aeroscreen - £465 to £410

Fabricated Parts

Pre Cut Chassis pack with ALL parts pre cut and labelled, including paper build table template for bottom rail fabrication, ALSO front frame jigged and welded - £250 to £230
Completed chassis including all cp's and brackets - £670 to £650 (£790 inc p/coating)

We will also be adding to the product range as time goes on, firstly to include fuel tanks and roll bars. Shortly we will have full turning facilities for one offs and a cnc plasma cutting service for any one offs, dxf file will be required.

We have also added to the Saturn Roadster section where we are now offering full kits to builders to complete a roadster plus a donor car, this is not a complete full kit but will be soon. It is also an option for the kit to be purchased in 3 stages, complete chassis - rolling chassis - body and panels.

The intention is to carry out the same for the single seater ready for the launch of the build manual.

All prices include VAT

Both myself and Handy hope this helps all builders out there and promotes the Haynes Roadster as a viable concept to all, especially in these tight times (we all need some fun)

Please feel free to visit the Saturn Site (link below) and have a browse.

Andy, Andy,

That’s all great news,

I regularly check your web site for updates in the ‘Build Components’ section. I like the idea that there is a one stop shop for non Sierra/non fabricated roadster components, like the Maxi ball joints and engine mounts I have just ordered.

It will be used by people like me that really want the right component but are a little unsure that what I am looking at on Ebay is the right thing, however if I am looking at it on your web site I know it is the right thing or can phone up for advise.

The quality of the fibreglass panels I collected the other weekend are fantastic and thanks again for the great deal.

One component I am looking for is the bush or bearing that supports the end of the steering column as it goes through the top of the foot well, do people use the Sierra item or is there a bespoke part to use.

All positive stuff from you guys at Saturn, you will need a bigger stand at Stoneleigh.

Last point before I get back to some sort of work, posting at 01.10hrs is obscene!

Cheers Ginge

Nice to see prices coming down and not going up like most companies.
All we need to sort now is postage to OZ

cheers guys,

like the post says, we,ve now been trading a few months & feel that we are able to pass on the savings to you the builder,

& at the same time developing the range of parts that we can supply, infact the options of supplying full build kits ( with staged options ) was our plan from the beginning.

We feel that the options we have put together gives scope for individual builders to be able to build a Roadster to their own budgets & personal preferences ( build space/to weld /not to weld etc ) & knowing that as a builder completes a stage of the build they can then feel confident that the parts needed for each stage are available from Saturn Sports Cars when they require them.

The "one stop shop" was always our intention & infact we are the only supplier able to offer this from under the same roof.

As most of the forum members are aware we always welcome visitors to the Saturn unit to discuss a builders requirements & if the weather is kind a run out in a Roadster , who else can offer that ....you,ll always go home smiling.

Ginge.... if you mean the bush that supports the steering column that passes thru the CP15/Cp16 then yes we can supply that part too, another part that will be added to our range, infact only yesterday we have discussed offering the service of actually extending the customer supplied steering column with the correct length extension & bushes & possibly the end coupling.

cheers

Hello Oz,

We have already priced a shipment of a full piece kit for a chap called Tim Woods, the price was £275 for sea freight to Melbourne, DDU which means you would be responsible for collection from port and import taxes and duty (£30 to £50). This may help, especially with the week pound. There seems to be a few builders in Oz land, maybe i should pack up and move out there with the kids (their mothers a copper though so would probably have me arrested at entry)

Thank you so far, and yes it is late but it should all be worth it Ginge....

Regards.....AndyH

Postage is a bit steep or is that me

ginge,

this is the part you need

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Sierra-Gr...item20af0979b2

also got my maxi ball joints from these guys, they used to do a kit with the transit ones for about £40 they may well still be able to do it.

Brilliant news guys.

I am loving the new GRP parts price structure

On the flat pack chassis front .... The inclusion of a pre-fabricated front frame is a real bonus .... I know just how tricky that bugger can be to make.

It is certainly great to be able to go and see the parts that are on offer ... Have a chat with the guys ...... Heck, weather permitting, even get to ride in a completed Roadster ..... How cool is that

Certainly a service that you can't get when buying from Ebay .... Whilst on the subject of Ebay .... Why would a Roadster parts seller, keep thier sales history " Private " !!??

I hope things go from strength to strength guys.

Its nice to see a supplier who actually has experience and knowledge in roadster builds rather than just producing parts. It makes life much easier knowing that if you come accross a problem you can just pick up the phone.

cheers
