Nick W Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Bonjour Am off to the South coast of France soon. Haven't got much time on hols so I think the lazy drive down is out of the question. I was thinking of alternatives and was wondering if anyone has tried to put a Seven (or any other car for that matter) on a train? Is there enough ground clearance etc.? Help appreciated or else it's flying and hiring which is too boring by far. Merci Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Quite few people have taken Caterhams through th chunnel a few times with no problems at all, not sure about other trains though.

Matthew Wheatley Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 There was a brillianty article in classic car magazine a few years ago where a caterham was driven to a ski resort (in the ski season!) and they put it on a train to avoid a long autoroute drive without any problems.

Super_Rich_Bernie Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 The cars are loaded (driven up ramps) onto MotorRail by the railway staff. I'd worry that they wouldn't take as much care as they should with a fragile/low ground clearance car. Jonathan Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick W Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 Jonathan- Yes that's what I'd heard as well. Sounds like a recipe for a damaged exhaust/ sump to me! Matthew- Thanks for that- I'll see if I can dig it out, I presume they have a website. Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
