The various things we’ve been up to.
A Caterham is not at all like your every day ’tin top’ runabout. There’s more or less no sound proofing, so you’re sat in a small tin with an engine and gearbox closer to you than in any other car. This means you’re a lot closer to the action — and a lot more mechanical noises than you’re probably used to.
With its modernised interior, inboard pushrod front suspension, independent rear suspension and a stonking Cosworth Duratec engine, could the immensely powerful CSR 260 be the ultimate road going Caterham? We put a tame former racing driver in one and left him to work it out…
You can put a variety of different wheel sizes on a Caterham — but which size is the “best”? In this short film, we have a special guest to help us work out the answer. Former racing driver and Formula 1 commentator, Ben Edwards, drives our Caterham with 13", 14" and 15" wheels and gives us his thoughts.
On our showroom page, we’ve always let people know that we can look out for specific vehicles for customers, with many of the cars we sell never making it onto the website.
This year, the Caterham & Lotus 7 Club have asked commercial partners to join their track days, as support for drivers attending.
On Sunday 7th July, the day after the summer BBQ, we’re planning on having a blat around The Yorkshire Dales!
We’re optimistic about July weather this year (famous last words, eh ☔️) — so join us at the shop on July 6th for our annual Summer BBQ and open day.
It’s only three weeks until the Caterham & Lotus 7 Club’s annual Fish and Chip Run event, the largest gathering of Caterhams in the UK! 300 cars are signed up to make the beautiful drive across Wales, from Chepstow to Aberdyfi on the coast.
On one of our previous YouTube videos, a viewer asked if we could cover cycle wings. They asked about the difference between bonded and bolted, and what the pros and cons might be.
Over the years, there have been a few different choices of front and rear lights from Caterham, not to mention countless aftermarket options. In this film we’re going to run through the official options, and cover some third party lights that we like and recommend. We’ll also show you how to setup your headlight alignment at home.
Aeroscreens completely change the feel of a Caterham. If you’re looking at doing track days, they’re also quite useful for making your car more aerodynamic (not a word you’d often use in the same sentence as ‘Caterham’ 🤣) and for saving your windscreen from costly chips or breakages. In today’s short film, we swap a windscreen out for an aeroscreen, and we show you some top tips for speeding the process up in future.
After all that food, and cake, and drink, over Christmas, we should imagine that you’ll be in need of a small break.
