DeanB Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 A new car cafe has opened in Edingley, near Southwell in Nottinghamshire. By pure good fortune it is less than a mile away from my house (😊) so I have nipped down for a brew in the Elise three times now. It's not a big venue but the cafe itself is like a cool man-cave with a massive picture of a Type 49 GP car on the wall, the coffee is good and all sorts of cars turn up. I like the place. I have no connection to it, I just thought I would put up a post in case anyone local fancied calling in. The cafe is an add-on to a classic car investment business, and some of their portfolio of cars are on display including a Renault 5 GT Turbo, Sierra Cosworth, Integra Type R, 205 Gti and so on. They also have a Lotus Omega that is having some paintwork done but should be on display in a copule of weeks. Dean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanB Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 The Lancia in the pic is s Spider, and he has fitted a 2 litre volumex engine in it. It's remarkably rust-free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisemadray Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 would the cafe be suitable for a breakfast stop? for one of the Notts/Newark runs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
