Return to the Caterham fold

[malcolmpturner]

Hi all.

I've just put a deposit on a little used 420R and hope to collect it before Xmas.
This will be my 4th Caterham.
I sold my last one 10 years ago as I just never had time to drive it. Hoping for fun times in this one.

Cheers
Malcolm

My first was a Q reg 1700 crossflow - red & Ali. Q280 RDM called Arthur!
2nd was a 1800 vvc Orange one.
3rd was a VX sprint.
Had other fast cars in this time. Evo 6 - Evo 7 - M3 - Golf R
Then a skoda superb! Had a Honda VFR750 for a short while.
MX5 Mk3 as my daily driver at the moment.

Which one did you prefer?

Of the Caterhams, the VVC one.
Of the others - 100% the Golf R - so fast across country.

2 sleeps to go.
I have borrowed a trailer from a friend's friend to bring the car back home.

Safely collected.
My 420R - only 300 miles on the clock.
Happy chap.

I always name my cars and this one is called 'Dotty'.
I took her for a quick spin this afternoon - still running in but it is fantastic to have a caterham again.
So quick!
