Re: Pilgrim cars (Dan Tanner)
In september 2012 I visited Pilgrim Cars and Chesil. I was in GB for my holidays and toured through the south of England with my camper van.
I'd called Den Tanner beforehand and I was welcome at his 'factory'...
When I entered the 'factory' I was immediately welcomed by Den Tanner. He looked very tired and the 'factory' looked shabby, old, decayed and rickety...
Den Tanner took his time to talk to (not with) me: he rambled on and on about his achievements in the kit car world and was eager to lay bare his past...
The workshop/factory told a completely different story:
The office:
Outside there were 2 bodies standing around (one of a Cobra and a Speedster). According to Den Tanner they were just finished (???) and would be picked up the next day...
We found a nice camping place in the neighbourhood and stayed there a few days. When we drove past the 'factory' three days later, the two bodies were still standing where they were three days before...
The Speedster and Cobra molds stood outside. I couldn't see how a decent body could come out either one of those molds...
