So this is a new addition to the garage. It is the Roadsport model with the 1.8 K-series engine with 140bhp and the optional LSD. It has only done 4500 miles since 2002, so it needs a little bit of recommissioning and the tyres are from 2001 for example. So once I've sorted a few bits and bobs on it, I will be able to start enjoying it. I'm excited about it because I've never had a performance car that has been lighter than 1100kg, so it is definitely something a fair bit different to what I'm used to. Here is a pic of me collecting it, and a couple of it in the garage too. I will update when

Yes and I can't wait to start using it properly, although it probably isn't the best time of the year to get one now though!

It had the 6 speed gearbox which was excellent. No lsd but in my time with it never really felt like it needed one . Are you intending to tune your k series ? Great engine in my opinion and Dave is definitely the man to see for power upgrades. Your old one looks lovely and I love the colour. I bet yours felt rapid then for certain. I will see how I go with it tuning wise, and as you say people do seem to say good things about the engine. Plus I don't think that the notorious headgasket issue is quite as much of a problem in the lighter Caterham from what I've read either. I keep popping into the garage to either look at it or sit in it, and my missus thinks I'm crazy I reckon! I've always personally been a big fan of LSDs, but that is just my preference really, plus plenty of car manufacturers don't even bother with them though(Lotus/McLaren etc). I've now currently got 3 RWD cars all with an LSD fitted to them, and that is mad really.
