Chaps - been itching to build a Caterham for years...finally might have the opportunity/time/garage/money!

I'm interested in doing a base 1.6 build from a new kit.

I've looked on the Caterham web site and have seen the price list etc. Question - can you buy the car in tranches to avoid storing loads of parts that aren't going to be used until later in the build process? Or do you have to buy it all in one go up front?

Also, are there bits of the build that require real experienced skill that you would recommend getting a professional in to do?

Cheers all,

J.

Ah well yes...but I want mine to then be worth something second hand!! Which leads me to another question...is there a difference in value between a car that was sold in kit form and one that was factory built?
