Hey Rob, I know where you are coming from, but by the time the guy has brought the Daytona in and paid import tax, shipping and repaid and recharged VAT (plus added on his profit as I guess he won't do it all for nothing) it is no surprise that we always end up paying more than everyone else...

Happy New Year everyone! My computer has been down hence Frank's statement on my behalf - cheers Frank! I can confirm that Thruxton Sports Cars are continuing with the CAV through Carcraft and that it is great news as far as I am concerned. They are also continuing the ongoing development of...

Nice one Paul! Are there any stills from the helicopter available yet? Rick

Re: A New GT40 replica is Coming - Maybe? Hi Guys, I think I can add a little bit to the Superformance piece. It has been an open secret for a little under a year that they are in the process of designing a GT40. I am sure it will be a nice car and it is supposed to be very close to the...

It is a great article. Mind you - sounds like a damn good car too! Rick

HI Murray, My name is Rick Chattell from CAV UK (Thruxton Sports cars) Love to show you the CAV range! Give me a call on 01428 664276 if you would like more info. Cheers, Rick

LOOKS GREAT! Rick

I am 6ft 1 and have no problem without a helmet. In reality, it really depends on whether your height is in your trunk or legs. The car has been designed for drivers of up to 6ft 4, but it really depends on the above! If you asked me to guess, I would say with the pedal box forward, seat...

Thruxton Sports Cars is pleased to announce that the CAVGT is now available in kit form in the UK and South Africa only. Based on the beautiful stainless steel monocoque, prices start at £22k inc VAT. Each kit comes pre-drilled, with a very detailed build manual and a UK phone support line...

Dear JP, Very nice - looking forward to seeing the whole thing! Especially looking forward to watching you crack 12 secs at Brighton. Rick

Brett, Thanks for that. The website has not kept up with developments! You are absolutely right and my secretary (who has a Luddite for a boss) is on the case. Cheers, Rick

Robert, Thanks for your best wishes! I have not managed to see an MDA yet, but I am obviously looking forward to it. It seems that they are about the same money as a CAV (on balance) but I think they are on a spaceframe rather than a monocoque. I am sure they will be a good quality item and...

As the UK distributor of this car, I have read with interest some of the comments arising from Frank Catt's post. I would therefore like to make the following points: 1. A lot of comments have been made regarding the price of the CAV (which is fair enough) but a lot of them are also...

Hi Guys. I would appreciate some advice if possible. We are now in the process of designing and fitting a right hand change for our cars (sill mount) I would like to know if in your opinions, we should offer this as a default setting, or an option. Does anyone see any benefit to retaining a...

JP, There are cheaper cars on the market, but in the case of the CAV GT40 we pay for the quality of the vehicle, (which is superb)the import duty, VAT, SVA, engine/box, pre delivery prep etc. I know things have to be perfect for discerning clients and unfortunately that costs money. We...

Hi all. My name is Rick Chattell and I am the UK distributor of the CAV GT40, through my company Thruxton Sports Cars. It has taken some time for me to be able to log onto this site (due mainly to my pronounced Luddite tendencies)but now I am on, I thought it would be a good idea to give an...
