Hi Nige

Following this build with interest smile

Out of interest, how long till you can actually take it for a drive? ie fuly SVA'd MOT'd etc.. Bet you can't wait.

Look forward to the updates

Cheers

Mike,

Thanks for that, I am enjoying the build too, despite a few set backs with incorrect parts and missing parts too.

All past of the trials and tribulations I guess.

As far as driving it well, I don't know when the engine is due yet, I hope next week, but Caterham are still waiting for completed engines from the modification company in Linconshire.

And as far as SVA etc, well that has got a whole lot tighter now, so it may be some time to wait for that once the car is complete too.

Nige.

Jackal,

As you can see at the moment it is just in Lotus Ice White, as per the demo car.

However it is missing the Stripes and Decals in Kawasaki Lime green, which will be applied by Caterham when it goes off for SVA.

I think it will look even cooler then!!.
