Corbeau Sunday Service 18/10

175 spaces for a Sunday morning at Corbeau's factory - sign up now!



Sometimes one Sunday Service just isn't enough for a month, so we have included one more in October thanks to kind folk at Corbeau Seats/Luke Harnesses for October 18.

For the past 50 years, Corbeau's extensive knowledge and commitment to product development, have made it a world renowned name for seats and harnesses. Their seats have featured in some of the rarest and fastest cars ever produced, plus they're regularly seen in motorsport including British Touring Cars - more on that to follow - and British Truck Racing. Perhaps most famously, they've been used in Top Gear's Reasonably Priced Kia Cee'd. They most likely feature in a few of your track projects too.

Corbeau has invited 175 PH members for a guided tour of its factory and facilities to see how its seats are made through each step of the production line, from moulding to stitching and finishing.

As per normal there will be the opportunity to purchase refreshments throughout the morning, catch up with your fellow PHers and see a few nice cars.

We will also on the be selling T-shirts, mugs and stickers at this Sunday Service. It's cash only, so please come prepared with some extra cash to grab yourself some PH merchandise! The event is raising money for The Fire Fighters Charity so any donations you can provide during the day would be greatly appreciated too.

Finally, that touring car link. Corbeau has offered a prize of hot laps at Donington with Jeff Smith and his Honda Civic NGTC car, taking place on November 2. The winning name will be drawn on the day - good luck!

Add your name to the calendar here. Please arrive from 0900h.

The address you need is:

Corbeau Seats / Luke Harnesses
17 Wainwright Close
Churchfields Industrial Estate
St Leonards-On-Sea
East Sussex
TN38 9PP

See you there!

Thanks for today's Sunday Service visit to Corbeau, it was worth the journey to see a truly 'made in UK' range of products which all of us would recognise and appreciate. Shame that there were not more visitors today, but the Corbeau staff made the morning informative and of interest. Thanks PH for organising the event.

Hi guys thanks for the appreciation. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks to Corbeau for opening their doors.
Personally I love knowing how things are designed and manufactured and I think todays tours were really informative. Ii makes you realise there is so much more to the seats development than meets the eye.

That Dodge was something else wasn't it? .. It was like THOR himself bellowing when he started it up.


Great to meet so many of you and I hope to catch you all at future SS events.

Keep you eyes peeled as a good one coming up for November. smile
