Our impressive Crossfire displays at key public events like Brooklands and Castle Coombe have been a great success. This has been helped enormously by the banners which now appear everywhere we go! These have given us our identity and bring us together as an organised group. Feedback from those attending the meets has shown a lot of enthusiasm towards taking part in more events of this type; especially those were we can attend as “club” parking together displaying the cars. For 2012 we have taken this idea forward with some exciting new destinations which will hopefully provide the right ingredients that go to make up a great Crossfire meet.

Chrysler Crossfire – Spare Parts Availability

With the Chrysler Crossfire going out of production the question of the availability of spare parts was bound to come into question. Indeed, body panels, trim, interior parts and mechanical components were never easily obtainable from dealers when the cars were still in the showroom. We now hear of instances where Crossfires are being written off due parts shortages and the exorbitant cost of any items having to be obtained abroad. As the Chrysler Dealerships lost interest in the car, stocks of new spares has dwindled; over the last few years much has been disposed of through eBay etc; some bargains were found for anyone wanting to store parts for possible future use.

Motor Trend has published a list of cars that are less than ten years old, and cost less than $10,000 dollars. The Crossfire is there, and is amongst good company - the 2002-2003 Jaguar XKR, 2002-2004 Audi TT and the 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. The styling pretty much does it for the Crossfire:

Exclusivity plays a part in our selection of the Chrysler Crossfire, which was based on a Mercedes-Benz SLK but had styling like nothing we’d ever seen.

It certainly seems that the Crossfire is fast becoming a modern classic - something borne up by the new owners who are showing interest on this site.

The Future

As our little group continues to grow into a bigger group, we have been discussing what we need to do to take group to the next level. Inevitably to carry on building our group we need to become better organised, and more professional in the way we do things. We have learned a lot from attending other car club meets and gained some ideas about how we can continue to develop. As you know, officially, we are not a club, and we have no membership fees to pay. While this is our preferred way of operating, thus avoiding the formalities of a legally established club, it means we have no income and this obviously puts a big hurdle in the way of progress.

We are committed to the future of the group, helping it to develop and seeing its profile raised. So, to give the group more exposure we have decided to purchase a pair of Sail Banners showing the UK Crossfires name, logo, and web address etc, to use at the meets; and this will help to promote our group very effectively, putting us on a par with other clubs.
