I first did the showroom and factory tour in 1995, when the showroom was garages at the top of the hill in Caterham.

I pondered again about 10 years later and went as far as getting quite serious on an SV chassis'd K series powered car that the specialist in Dursley had. Not sure if it was cold feet or just a decision to put the money into a regular car and from memory we went and bought a Boxster using the extra money that would have gone into the Caterham.

Anyway I'm pondering again as the love for them has never really gone away, but wouldn't really know where to start. The last Caterham I've driven was a 1.4 K Series, which I "think" might have been about 125 BHP (would that sound right?)

So where do I begin, there is no fixed time scale really, this is just an initial thought, I've tried to join the 7 and Lotus FB group, but not sure if they will let me.

Hi Hus,

I'd like that and thank you. Perhaps that's something for post Christmas?

I've had a finance example come through today from Williams Automobiles near Bristol, have to say it was much better than expected.

They gave 2 examples for a 360 and a 420. I'm unlikely to go with something quite so epic, but they are "examples"

Quick question, why don't they have a spare wheel carrier any more on the rear?
