Does anyone know of anywhere I could hire a 7 (or not) type car for a 4 day weekend?

I was trying to get my car finished for a tour in May, but I have no chance at all of making it.

The next best thing will be to hire a car for the tour, but most places seem to want £400 for a Caterham limited to 300 miles or so, and 50p per mile excess - a little bit too steep IMO.

Just wondered if anyone knows of anywhere that deals with the less hallowed marques.

Some one in Cornwall has one for hire, but it's a long way from York.

Might just use up the limited mileage just getting it to the start line!

classic car place in otley

pull the cable out the gearbox.....unless it got a tracker they would never know........
reminds me of a time when the group N boys used to fly to Capetown and hire a GTI Golf from Avis......put a few bits on it and race it> cheaper than trailing the cars down from Joburg.......
Worked for a few years till Avis staff spotted a fire extinguisher still bolted in attached to a rollcage when a driver had the car returned for him as he was in the hospital after pranging it

This is probably no help, but there was a company - possibly linked to the Westfield factory - that hired Westys. The hire price was then taken off the purchase price if you ordered a kit.
