Caterham has stayed true to the Colin Chapman philosophy embodied in the Lotus
Seven. Very minimalist with carpets and weatherproofing being optional extra's
!!! However it does give 150 mph from 260 bhp with acceleration that Wing
Commander Barker would be use to.
For a fun three wheeler I would prefer the quirky offering from Morgan Cars in
Malvern.
