Decided to come back to Caterhams....I have had a 1700 Supersprint sold it early 90s, then I had a Vauxhall 2L...sold when I got married. Would like to get one again, but am at a loss what to choose. Will be just a fun car but want no less power/weight then the Vauxhall 2L. Will not do trackdays but will put a few thousand miles/year. I use to take my previous caterhams to mid-france. Price point £20K.

Thoughts? What to buy and where to buy?

Just to close picked the R400 yesterday from Caterham, drove it north for 230 miles in one go, through rain, sun...car went like a dream....no aches and pains and I am 6'3"!!...car is quicker than my old VX....be interested to know difference with this and the new Duratec - why would I want to upgrade?
