Hi.
I'm a bit out of touch with the latest models (been into 4x4's MX and horses) and would like to know brief differences between the models, i.e R500, R400, R300 etc etc. I originally wanted a TVR T350 but am now a bit scared by some of the engine issues and think a Caterham may be the more reliable option. Thank you...
