Caterham says it wants to evoke 'the elegance, class and rich motorsport heritage of Monte Carlo' with this cool retro-styled special edition - the Roadsport 125 Monaco.
The latest incarnation of the iconic Seven harks back to Colin Chapman's original 1957 design in both its lightweight philosophy and its bespoke styling, they reckon.
The Monaco features brushed aluminium bodywork, with black nose and wheel guards, while the familiar red and white of the Monegasque flag (don't worry, we had to look that one up, too) form a motif that runs the length of the car.
In the cockpit, the theme is continued, with black leather interior featuring red highlights pairing with the black body trim to capture a colour scheme reminiscent of the roulette wheels found in Casino Square complete the evocative '50s feel, the official press release goes on to say.
It's supposed to cost £20,995, but for reasons that aren't declared, the first 20 cars to be ordered will attract a £1,000 discount.
Under the skin, the car is standard Roadsport 125 spec, which means a 1.6-litre Ford engine produces a top speed of 112mph and a power-to-weight ratio of 227bhp per tonne.
The 5-speed gearbox propels the lightweight 500kg chassis from 0-60mph in under six seconds and full weather kit means the Roadsport is thoroughly enjoyable in any conditions.
Options include the wide SV chassis and a lowered floor for extra comfort in the cockpit, while all black trim is also available.
