Carisma Century - Where are they now?

[ocheye]

Hi there
This is an appeal to any kit car owners who may know of the whereabouts of any Carisma Centuries.

They are no longer made and the Carisma Owners Club is sadly disbanded. I own one and am aware of 2 others, one in Leeds and one in Cambridgeshire. I have the original members list but I think they have all bar one moved their cars on or moved house. The list is so old that there aren't even any email addresses?

I would like to hear from any owners past and present with a view to starting a forum if not a club, I also would like any photos to put together an archive. I would love to contact Andy Hobbs who used to produce the kits in Sandy, Beds.

I believe only 25 were ever made and it was a great kit with its' own chassis, cortina suspension and pinto power. Mine's seen better days but is still sound with no crazing and a current MOT. Most cars cost over £10k to build back in the early 90's and I believe it was the recession that killed off the original company.

Here's hoping that I can make a start on upgrading the database

Cheers

Ocheye
