Love a sleeper, and a Caterham sleeper even more so...

Only 350hp? That’s cute.

Seems to be a bit lacking in the tyre and exhaust department...
A triumph of the possible over the desirable, and a money pit?

Reading the description of the engine as a turbo 2020cc lotus twink, made me wonder what makes it a lotus twin cam? It has someone's alloy block and someone else's bespoke head.

Is the label of lotus in any way appropriate?

Then I started thinking about the Cossie BDR. Not knowing much by way of detail, I was wondering what were the differences between the actual lotus twincam and the BDR. Or are there few similarities?

Any knowledgeable people out there to help?
