Was the Freestyle a noticeably better car, or is it just another special that has an over inflated price.
The front suspension was adjustable, which was a bit of a gimmick really but the trackday crowd got quite excited about it. It moved the front springs out of the airflow I guess.Caterham used to refer builds to them if you bought a kit after the factory stopped assembling live axle classics, that's how mine got built by them. My car was standard.
But of course, I have a very biased opinion here.
edit -- DeDion rear, not live axle. The "super-wide" on the complete cars used the SV DeDion tube and modified radius arms at the rear, and front was +100mm wider than the Caterham wide track front suspension.

They were all very special cars made by Gary and Len. Without doubt, they will become even more collectable than they are now.
I am lucky to live near Stephen, so I see L7 FST often and it is a very nice 7. We do local blat's in Kent, but keeping up is a problem !!! At the London to Brighton on November 4th, it was parked next to another and they looked great.

Only have experience of the Freestyle "blade" adjustable front ARB. That was a brilliant design, much much better than swapping bars in and out (or more realistically doing a whole year wishing you had the time to swap another bar in, putting up with what you had)...
I'd love to have a try of their pushrod setup, it looks like it'd be really beneficial.
