Hello, all! I came up against a Caterham/Lotus 7 in about 1990 back in my motorcycle days. I was on a Suzuki GS 1000 in an urban setting. I beat the fella on acceleration, but I can still remember the bark of the exhaust, and hearing a short but distinct squeal from his rear tyres when he changed gear. That little car left a lasting impression, and 35 years later I've finally managed to buy one of my own. I managed to track down a 2022 310S with 454 miles on the clock. I absolutely love it! My wife absolutely hates it and sees it as a rival.
Having watched every YouTube video I could find over the last few years, I had a fairly good idea of what to expect, and it has exceeded my expectations (it's only just run in!)
The one thing I didn't expect, however, is quite how many people have asked me: "Is it a Morgan?" Gaaahh!

Brilliant stuff, the 310 is a great spec of car too.

I've had mine for about 12 years or so, and yes, it's amazing how many people ask if it's a Morgan. (I didn't even realise Morgan were that well known, I knew of Caterham before I knew about Morgan).
