DARTFORD, United Kingdom, Aug. 21, 2009 - Motorists wishing to take a Caterham sportscar on the ultimate road trip can now enjoy all mod cons along the way, thanks to a unique offer launched by motorhome hire company, A Class Motorhome Rentals.

The Swindon-based firm is offering the chance to hire one of its motorhomes, complete with the latest Caterham Roadsport 175 towed on a trailer, so customers can enjoy the freedom and exhilaration of a driving holiday as well as luxury accommodation.

Whether your trip is to a remote Alpine pass or the winding roads of the Scottish Highlands, you can spend the evening in comfort and, in the morning, hop in the Seven and enjoy some of the world’s best roads in a classic sportscar.

A motorhome, trailer and Caterham Seven package can be hired for a three-day weekend from as little as £650, while customers can also hire a Caterham on its own from just £150 a day.

Caterham’s iconic Seven is renowned as one of the world’s greatest driving experience, and the new Roadsport 175’s 2-litre Ford engine produces a powerful, but manageable, 318bhp-per-tonne. In line with the luxury of the A Class motorhomes, the 175 is also available with full weather kit, SV Wide Body chassis for extra space, leather seats and padded armrests.

David Fegent, from A Class Motorhomes, said of the offer: “Our customers regularly go to stunning places all over the UK and Europe, where there are some incredible roads just crying out to be driven in a classic sportscar. This way, holiday-makers can have the best of both worlds and a truly memorable trip.”
