steve_b Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 well Caterham just bring out a new R500. 0-60 in 2.88 The duratec may take it up to 150mph if similar to the CSR. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=17883 £37k is not OTT either but still steep.

AndySpak Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Looks good! I've been craving a Caterham 7 for a good 5 years now. I get their monthly newsletter by email and everytime it arrives I get a massive urge to move house and buy one with a garage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Just do it andy. you may still get one cheapish, but in the next 2 months when weather is better and races start then price goes up. Even lower power ones are great fun. but this would be worth a look as Dave Andrews is king. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/400143.htm Even if you keep it for 2 years you are looking at less than £2k loss which for a 4-sec car is as good as it gets.

AndySpak Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I very nearly have a couple of times now. I've driven the classic and the Superlight R (1600 engine) on a track and I absolutely love them. Also driven a Westfield Megabusa on the road but I didn't think it was a patch on the Sevens. I'll get one soon enough... probably not this year though.

Sarnie Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Why link this to the GTR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Why not. Totally different car and reason to buy, but now when I think about performance then I think about the GTR and if anything else is as fast as it. Hence the comparison of this 7 to the GTR as its now my benchmark. As an everyday car I would choice the GTR everytime before the 7, on a track would choose the 7 everytime. With both you would never need anything else except something to tow the 7 around and right now that would probably be a M5 touring for me. Why link this to the GTR?
