Workmanship is
just simply stunning, loving the CF floor among other things. Just a mere 4000 hours spent building it!!! This may well be a repost, apologies if it is but I did a quick search and didn’t turn anything up.
Whilst randomly looking for something else on the net this evening I stumbled upon
this very shiny caterham.

I ain't gonna argue with the quality of that build.
$60k on ebay - gulp

Workmanship is excellent.
I don't like the bits that stick out of the floor like the bell housing
Very nice indeed - I think the badge on the nosecone is off centre though 
well i' never seen it before and it looks stunning. couldn't go anywhere in it mind, be dazzling everyone and forever cleaning it.
spending the rest of your days saying "look but dont touch"
puts mine to shame. the cat sleeps in mine in the garage and the kids climb over it and past to get in and out of the garage. still stunning though

mine too, thought I was the only one
YUCK!! that car does absolutely nothing for me 
all i can think about when looking at it is cheap chrome plating 
nice looking, but couldn't touch it let alone drive it. What a waste of all that time, they've taken a car that is all about the essence of
driving, and made it completely undriveable
A Ferrari would be more practical and less time consuming!
Nice exhibit of pedantic building but that's about it. Yeah I'm impressed but honestly... can anyone say they'd pay that much for that
example vs one that they wouldn't be afraid to actually drive for a great deal less money?
Show piece IMHO.
I feel that a 7 esque car is a driving machine, not a show pony
stunning detail but the concept is lost
Um....I think not..
Doesnt the Chroming process seriously weaken metal?...
If its a Chromed mild steel chassis....

) trapped in a car that will probably cover about 10 miles in
its lifetime - on and off trailers. Caterhams can easily go to $80,000 here new. They are in no way considered cheap little cars in Canada, unless you build cars for a living, it's going to cost you.
It's a bling bling car, but i'm not too impressed with some parts on there, the upright looks like welded alloy to me, dont want to run that
kind of power thru there
i tyhink it was made by a very skillfull person and wish mine will be a 10th as good as his i will be happy
That is nothing less than amazing. i wish it was mine
Not my cup of tea TBH, but then again if it is his thang to clean and polish rather than fettle and drive then why not.
I too regularly find our cat asleep in the passenger footwell of the Indy, then I did put a bed in there for her
Can't see the point in that at all. The rear wheels don't even fill the arches properly either!
Also, why have a full CF floor, then go and cut holes in it for all the things that are meant to be above the damn thing?
"Chrome won't bring ya home"
Nice but not my kind off car anymore.
All that shines is not gold!!
We have used this stuff, very good until you get really close

This may be controversial...but IS the workmanship sooo outstanding?
To me lots of expensive parts and expensive plating/polishing is not neccesarily quality workmanship.....many dubious details have already been picked
on already...
Don't confuse bling with engineering.
I'm definitely in the "not for me" camp...
As a show piece it's very nice. But as has already been said, completely impractical for the road.
Not as nice as Trev D 's car
