Caterham Roadsport - after 7 months of searching

I've got one !
Been a member of PistonHeads for years but first time I've posted on Readers Cars.
It's taken me 7 months of searching for a Caterham 7 within my budget. I wanted a K - series engined car, 1.6 or 1,8 five speed gearbox. I missed out on a couple that were advertised, they were sold within hours of the ad appearing. The Caterham The car is a one owner with only 8,200 miles on the clock. It originally had Tillet seats fitted, but the dealer offering the car gave me the option to swop them for leather seats and a few other nice extras. I have a few jobs to do on the car, get some carpets fitted. repaint the momo letters on the steering wheel, and I've ordered the yellow and white Caterham F1 vinyl stripes. I know some people hate tacky number plates but I'm also considering transfering my plate F17 MAD ( F1T MAD) on the Caterham F1 7 MAD - brought the plate years ago when I competed a Ironman .

Fantastic purchase just intime for the sunshine!

I would love one myself however with the residuals being so good they just aren't depreciating to the point where I could justify one

Sunshine ????
Easter Sunday and we've had floods, and thunderstorms . Not what I was expecting.

Love it! Great colour with those wheels, makes my white one look even more like a fridge . FWIW I'd keep the standard plate. Enjoy!
