Steve Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Tim, my brother decided several months ago that it was time to purchase something a little bit special as a weekend toy. With that in mind, off he went to Book a Track at Donungton park to discuss buying a Caterham 7. He's not a track day orientated person, but wanted one for weekends and to tour the country, I think he has Scotland in mind and maybe Stelvio he decided on a 270 SV and specified the car to be road going, added some extras to the car and ordered it in lotus yellow. Today i picked him up to collect the car after waiting several months for Caterham to build it and put it through IVA ready for the road. The final delay being the DVLA on issuing the log book, which finally came last week. Here are a few pictures from the collection earlier today. The first car we both learnt to drive in was a 1970's yellow Skoda 110, with a GNU registration prefix, hence the number plate Thanks for reading Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Oh, by the way. This is the car we both learn't to drive in. It was eventually given to my brother to use at University. Needless to say it had its fair share of problems. Rear mounted engine like a Porsche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatty Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Very nice. A top day to pick up a caterham. Those road seats are well comfy. i look forward to hopefully seeing it.... First thing ing you should tell him, is to buy some proper driving/racing boots. Itl make using those things tiny pedals a lot easier....

I'll have a look and suggest a pair to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
