New Classic and Prestige Dealership in Kettering

[Tyre Tread]

Mods - this is not and ad and I have no connection - just thought locals might be interested.

I went past the new independent car dealership opposite Tesco off J9 A14 today and called in as I was sniffing after a replacement car.

Although they don't officially open until tomorrow (Tuesday) they welcomed me and I spent a good hour and a half talking to the owner and his son and they told me some of their plans for the place including making it a meeting place for petrol heads like us.

There is some lovely stuff in there including 2 lovely E-Types, A lovely original Elan, a classic Mini copper with 2K miles on the clock and lots more.

If you are passing pop in and say you heard about the place on PH and I'm sure they will make you a lovely coffee!

A great place to spend a few hours looking at classic and modern performance cars.

Good info. This may be worth an organised hoon to once Spring arrives. I'll pop over myself in a few days and check it out. I love looking at these sort of places.

BTW, what are you looking to replace your current car with?

my, so tempting to answer that

Dave said about this place a few weeks back, think it was the old Mercedes dealership

we stopped to have a quick look through the window on a run out as we passed near by

Wouldn't mind an e-type , should have got one about 3 years ago before prices went orbital !

not much on the website yet, but I assume it's this place?

That's the one but they only have a temporary site up at the moment.

Nigel, get back to your sick bed!

I suppose what we could do is have an organised run out to the place in say March when the elements are better and roofs can more easily be lowered !

Had a passing glare last week some nice looking metal.
Will head over in the spring.

was in there yesterday, the young chap was there with an older bloke (not his Dad)

the older bloke said he wanted to get established for 6-12 months before having any meets at the place - although as the young chap said they wouldn't rule the idea out

Hey this is good news! Great spot that old Merc dealership building. Thought it was prone to flooding though?

A run there and meet would be great. Need to get out and meet some of you guys again too, been a while...

It's definitely been under water before - last in 2007 along with the nearby pub and most of pytchley road ind estate. I remember having to leave work because the water was pouring in.
