Well I'm now at a vineyard, collecting a souvenir purchase as a surprise for her indoors. Not a lot of room for wine in the new addition to the fleet so just a half case please, sommelier!

First impressions v good. That's the car...not the wine

Caterhams aren't made or sold in Caterham, so it won't be one of those

P.S. If you want to test the handling, take the road from Caterham towards J6 of the M25, but turn left towards Purley. Between the traffic lights and the round-a-bout is an uphill/downhill with tightening bend that never fails to amuse provided you ignore the unimaginative speed limit

Cheers,
Robin

LOL, saw this way too late. Loooong way from there now.

Lunch stop and some prep for an event tomorrow.

May have a pic or two later.

Oh and it has ~120PS.

And 2 doors.

Is that not a 3 door?

No squeaks or rattles to speak of.

Looking forward to shakedown test of suspension and brakes through Yorkshire Dales, en route home on Friday

And we hope it can make an appearance alongside UJI at the Campaganza next month. If we can fit everything in.

Mini cooper convertible? Mini cooper Roadster thingy? The coupe has a rear hatch... assuming 2 doors in total.

Enjoy the run, I think I now know where all the main potholes are on the M6 if you are heading up that route.
