Tvr to Caterham
Discussion
Hello people.
A little background, I worked for a tvr dealer for years and then after a few years away bought a Chimaera 450 and have enjoyed putting it in to what it was when it left the factory after a few years of being owned by several idiots seemingly.
Now I've found myself a bit disconnected from it, I love it when I drive it but the urge to drive it has gone, I think this is because I played with them for so long when I worked for tvr that it's not as special as it could be.
Anyhow, I drove a few caterhams whilst at the tvr dealer and loved the experience so I'm being drawn towards them.
I know little about them so would be keen to understand the less desirable models, better/worse engines, my car is worth about 13000 if sold privately so loooking for a like for like purchase swap which I know is the lower end of the market.
Advice and opinions welcomed, the tvr community is great on pistonheads and would like to think it's similar here.

Thanks for the replies so far.
With the graduate cars, Is there a bit of a stigma attached to them as they aren't a 'built for the road' car or is it not seen that way?
If you put a few grand in to one to put it in to road car spec is it lost money or are you likely to see a proportion of it back as and when it's sold?
