Old marketing material and "Entry" model
Discussion
Was clearing out some boxes at the weekend and found the Caterham marketing pack from 1998 which I'd stashed for prosperity. Not sure if anyone will find it interesting but I did (Geek?)
Lovely pic of a matching pair of silver Caterhams on the front.
I don't know what the hand outs are like these days but I was surprised by the quantity.
The triple fold of the 21 is practically a poster- I know the history and understand why it was dropped but bl**dy hell it is pretty IMO.
Wife was most amused by the brochure in the centre with ties, fleeces and other odd co-branded goods :-)
Given the recent "comments" on the price, performance and value of the 160 I thought the VX Classic was interesting- (refurbished) Live rear axle, similar performance to the 160/165, similar poverty spec.
In '98 the Classic was £11K, to me that suggests the 160 is not at all unreasonable at £15K given the greater new parts count and 16year time gap. (A Superlight R was £24K now north of £33K IIRC, ok I realise its changed alot too...)
On that point I also read the Complete Kit Car review of the 160 in the library (WHSmiths :-) amused that the only gripe was the size of the footwell, which the author spent many column inches lamenting! I can't believe it is that bad with so many PH owners likely being powerfully built company director types ;-)

Hi scubadude,I don't suppose you would like to sell the pack would you? I had mine up until recently that I got from the motorshow but it got thrown out by mistake, I was gutted
The pack was what I drooled over until I eventually got my first (of 5) Caterhams!
