For those who suffer from the winter blues, or who are finding their inspiration for their builds flagging, I offer up the following - an ad produced by my local Caterham Super Seven constructor, David Saville-Peck, whom I've known for some 35 years or so.

Although I cannot afford one of his creations (they're supposedly somewhere in the area of $80,000 CDN per copy now), a rather spirited ride in one of his Hyabusa-engined cars (driven by Saville-Peck, of '70s CanAm racing fame, in which he was faring well against Penske, Donohue, et al, very well, until he crashed and burned very badly) formed my original desire to build one of these marvels.

Watch & enjoy. If this doesn't get your blood flowing again, it's time to shop for a rest home!

Did anyone say about the CEC?
