Hello

I live in the Netherlands and i looked at 2 lotus/caterhams which both have the same Rollbar.
But i can't find the type of this rollbar anywhere, it doesn't look like any rollbar i can find on the internet.
Does anybody recognize this type ?

It doesn't look like a Caterham one as I'm pretty sure they've never made anything like that. It does remind me of a Donkevoort style roll bar though.

Hi
This could make sense since the black car was originally imported by Joop Donkervoort himself in 1972, and Donkervoort parts are relatively easy to get here in the Netherlands. Didn't know these rollbars where compatible.
Thanks, Henk

That is certainly not a Caterham variant.

Remember early Donkevoorts were pretty much a copy of the early S3 Caterham except for the wider rear. They in fact made an SV long before Caterham.
