Caterham build quality

[porson11]

Collected my new fully built 7 a few weeks ago, and only just had time to give it a good look over in daylight. I’m very disappointed in the build quality. Nothing wrong with the components, just scratches, nicks and chips everywhere indicative of a sloppy assembly and careless use of tools. I’ll be sending a list of problems to Caterham, but just wondered if this is the norm and my expectations are too high?

Caterham have agreed to put everything right at 1st service.

Pleased to hear it. Will you post an update after that's done?

Yes, I'll post an update after Caterham have had a chance to put things right (booked in for mid May).

I'm pleased to report a happy conclusion. Caterham fixed everything with no quibbles. Now it's time to enjoy...
