GD boss, Andy Burrows (nearest camera) prepares for yet another test drive last Saturday at the company’s excellent open day.
You know, I’ve heard it said that if you test drive a TESLA MODEL S, you’ll buy one. I think it’s the same with a GD!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We were at Gardner Douglas Sports Cars\u2019 factory open day last Saturday, their first for an amazing thirteen years (track-based events have run during the interim) and also our first chance to view their new premises in Grantham, beautifully-located right by the side of the A1 where it meets the A607.<\/p>\n

I am hugely impressed with the new facility, a whopper at over 10,000sq\/ft with the luxury of designated areas for chassis fabrication, glassfibre laminating, general workshop area and a showroom that can hold around eight cars.<\/p>\n

It puts me in mind of the old TVR factory on Bristol Road, Bispham, albeit in a slightly smaller guise but that had similar separate rooms for jobs involved in car builds.<\/p>\n

Over 250 owners and the curious turned up for what was a glorious day and the GD team undeterred by a couple of sharp rain shower intrusions were kept busy all-day, with plenty of test drives also booked.<\/p>\n

It was a privileged insight into what makes GD tick, I think, and frankly just why their owners love being part of the now 27-year old marque, run by Andy and Meena Burrows.<\/p>\n

Big congrats to all concerned. More information on GD Mk3, GD Mk4, GD T70 and GD Moda via www.gdcars.com<\/a> or 01476 567 180\u00a0ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
