Offord Open Day

TVR specialists to host BBQ and open day on September 18th

---

Offord Motor Company in Cambridgeshire is to open its doors on Saturday September 18th. If you've considered using them but haven't had a chance to pop in and have a chat then this will be the ideal opportunity.

Located in the little village of Offord Darcy, Offord Motor Company are located just over the road from a pub (which is nice) and they've arranged to have a barbeque laid on for the event.

They'll be happy to stick your car up on a ramp for a once over or simply to have a chat over what your needs are.

If you think you'll be going along, drop them a line just so that they can get an idea of numbers for the BBQ.

Nice people. *Very* nice people. Pity it's the Loton Park sprint the next day!

Where is Offord Darcy - it doesn't show on my route planner?
Any postcode or full address?

It lies a couple of miles south of Godmanchester, near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. Try Offord Cluny on your route planner.

There's a map on the web site!

Come off the A1 at Buckden. Their postcode for Mapquest is PE19 5RH.

(I'm only a (happy) customer.)

[spelling desk]There's an apostrophe in D'Arcy, which might make the search work[/spelling desk]

It's signed from the A1 as 'The Offords'.

[PetrolTed]

Depends who you speak to regarding the apostrophe it seems. Some locals reckon it has, some reckon it hasn't.

[catretriever]

You're saying it's a local apostrophe for local people?

Interesting you should say that, as I took the wrong turning when I went to get my exhausts done and asked directions from a man who a) was mesmirised by my watch and b) had the same grasp of the outside world as Edward and Tubbs.

However, this in no way offset my welcome at Offords, the great job they did on my exhaust and the fun to be had in their ("its had a tweak here and there") Saab loan car

"Are you local?"

Welcome to offord d'arcy ...... You'll never leave....

[Nick P]

my daughters name is Darcy and that has no apostrophe.....totally irrelavent, but I'd thought I'd give my opinion

[Ballistic Banana]

my mates surname is D'Arcy with the apostraphy(sp?).
Also totally irrelavent...

But in the ordanance survey it has the '.

Bloody good peeps and worth going down there, have used them for over 5 years now with my Griff and S

Similarly irrelevent fact in that the apostrophe is also there in Toleshunt D'Arcy (Essex - not far from Gt. Totham).

[tannertime]

There's also a track day on at Bassingbourn that day - it's only about 20m away.

They had some spare places when I spoke to them last week if anyone fancies combining the two.....

Hmmm, interesting. I need some bits doing (by a TVR specialist) so am planning on going for this.

[k77-widow maker]

Just a thought......the 19th is my birthday, so can I choose my present from you guys.....from your showroom??????


Seeing as I did let you keep the fuel pump the other week!!!

[the dodger]

Have sent an e-mail with my list of requested improvements etc. No reply yet.

Hope I can make it that day.

[Mrs BlueCerbera]

Will post again nearer the time, but is anyone going to be heading over there from Northampton area and willing to convoy?!
