I was in Caterham this morning and walked past the Cateringvan showroom and saw this early car.
Sorry for the poor pics but they were taken on my crappy camera phone:

and you didn;t buy it?!?!?!
inyteresting to say the least - the wings look non moveable - are those stacks and su's stiking thourgh the bonnet?
notice also the position of the headlamps - it'll never get through SVA.
was there a price tag on it?
Judging by the positive camber, I think that is a hill climb trials car for muddy conditions.
That is a Lotus 6 if I'm not mistaken.

I appreciate the historic-ness of it, but it's a ugly bugger and I can't imagine it being all that great to drive either....?

Maybe not, but then I wasn't born until 1974 and progress is progress![]()
I believe they also offered a 'bike engined' model.
It had pedals and a sturmey archer 3 speed!

So all that progress and you are driving a replica of a car conceived in 1957 which was made until 1974...
