A BRITISH CLASSIC
The Pilgrim 3000
If you thought
the time had long since passed when it was possible to own a classic British
sports car and enjoy the exhilaration of wind-in-the-hair motoring then take a
close look at the Pilgrim 3000.
Unashamedly employing classic '50’s styling, the 3000
captures the spirit of an era when British sports cars enjoyed worldwide
recognition as the finest in their class.
However,
styling is only part of the 3000's appeal. Beneath the flowing lines of the
composite monocoque bodyshell, lies a modern engine which together with a robust
backbone chassis, and Geoscan designed suspension, bestow the car with the
smooth power and taut predictable handling which are the hallmarks of all true
sports cars.
Test drive a Pilgrim 3000, look down the long bonnet, feel the surge of power
and the precise handling and, as you relax and feel at ease with the car, you
will quickly realise that here at last, within your reach, are the pleasures,
thrills and individuality, gained only from owning a classic thoroughbred.
EASY TO BUILD......
One of the benefits of building such a well designed car
is that the finish you see is the finish you get when you assemble the parts
yourself. You don't have to be an expert trimmer or finisher because all that is
needed is a degree of practical ability to place the Pilgrim supplied components
where they should go.
No specialist knowledge or equipment is required unless you have some specific
problem with an individual component; in which case you can employ the short
term services of an expert.
