Young David sold me my last couple of Caterhams, thoroughly nice chap and now one of the old guard

Indeed, he has been so very helpful and supportive, can't thank him enough for everything he has done for me and the rest of the group of Superlight Twenty owners too!

My first two or three I dealt with Jason Sutherland who was very good too and then latterly with David. Great experiences all round.

It's a shame lots of staff have changed, but that's the nature of business.

I dealt with Nick Potter at CC mids, for the last 10 plus years, and was always looked after my Nick and his team.

The business model.changed and cc mids was no more, but I am an old school fuddy duddy, and like to deal with people, especially people who treat me with courtesy and respect as a long standing customer!

Oh I hadn't heard about that, they closed? Did Oakmere take over from them?

Not sure what the exact agreement was.

Cc mids was closed, and Oakmere and Willams autos were made new dealers.

However since then BaT bookatrack at Donington have also been apointed as a new Motorsport dealer, for sales and support of Caterham, as well as running the track and drift days for cc too!

Have you got his email address? Would love to get a few pics of mine sent up, it's in production in 5 weeks and Jordan said that it may be ready for road testing in April. When is yours being delivered?

I got his email address from Jordan, I am sure if you ask her she will get it for you!

As you know they do not like to give committed delivery dates, until the car of kit is 99% ready to ship.

However they have told me to expect 6 weeks from start of production to delivery, so that means approx 2nd week in March.

Is yours going to be a kit , or factory built?

It looks hungry- "Feed me an engine!" Nom nom nom... :-)

Yep it sure does!

I will be " feeding " it an engine and box just as soon as it gets delivered here!

Looking at it say there, I assume there can't be much more physical work to do on it.

I assume it's just waiting for all the component parts to be collected together before shipping to me!

I will post some more detailed pictures,,but most will be on Facebook and my blog.

The 620R is factory built only Nigel.

Great to see yours finally arrive, I couldn't help notice in the factory pics the orange nose with the scoop, I was hoping to see a white one!

Good point Craig, that was me being dumb! Sorry I do that a lot these days!

Not sure but I reckon we got some pics of your car in very early stage of build!

[nigelpugh7]

Tut tut, you could have at least tried to get it straight ;-)

It's not quite done yet, but it is canted at a bit of an angle from the vertical plane, don't think my Duratec was like that!

[nigelpugh7]

I've added some more pictures of the build progress to my blog.

Looking very nice Nigel. Aero wishbones are a nice touch.

Thanks I added those as an option.

I get they should be a part of my car as they add to the special sauce ingredient!

Looks terrific, any dramas / missing bits?

I would have to say no real dramas on this build.

Also it is without doubt the most complete Caterham kit I have ever had the joy to work on!

Only mistake so far was partly me to blame, one of the rod ends broke off in the watts line tube, as the thread must have been damaged and I did not notice.

Derek from Caterham sent me a replacement the next day though, always as good as his word, so no issues or delays.
