I thought your white Caterham was great!

I love the green even more though...I also spot a nice 977 Porsche 911.

Agreed and I am not normally a green Caterham fan but this is fantastic!!

The paint is the same finish as the Dupont paint that is on the Team Lotus Formula 1 Cars.

Both the yellow and white stripes are hand painted, and I have to say the quality of the finish is just incredible.

It takes 3 days just to apply this paint scheme, and it really shows when you see it the daylight!!

Is this the version that is signed by the Lotus f1 drivers?

Indeed it is, it will actually be personally signed on a plaque for the dashboard.

We have to wait for the Trip to the Team Lotus Factory in Norfolk to get the signatures in the book and the dashboard plaque.

Should be a god day out!

Very... very nice.

I think it needs clear side repeaters on the wings though: I don't understand why they're still orange when the indicators are clear!

Genuinely one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I am so so jealous. What are your initial impressions on driving it, I bet it is so fast!
