Caterham 7 Well here mine is, just three days old (see how shiny it is!)
at the Seven Owners International meet in 1990. It's essentially completely
standard as supplied by Caterham in kit form. The engine is a Kent 1700
cc crossflow unit with twin webers and it has the De Dion suspension. It
will never look that clean again but has given me 35,000 miles of great
driving fun. As a kit it must be one of the easiest to build - Caterham
have had a lot of practice at supplying them. I know this doesn't suit
everybody - some just like to struggle! Me, I was happy to put this together
in a leisurely three months and then get on with learning how to drive
it. There are one or two other Caterhams in the club including a 2.0 litre
Vauxhall engined example. Here we are parked in Gravelines during last
years French treasure hunt - a very enjoyable cruise around northern France
with just enough to do to stop the boardom whilst leaving enough time for
suitable coffee and snack stops.

Charger Martin sends us the following information and a picture of his car:
My charger is nearing the end of its restoration. The mot is booked for 7th July,
after having it refused at the first test station because it would not go on their
hoist! It has taken two and a half years of work to get it this far.
Based on 1967 vw beetle 1500, I have kept it stock mechanically for ease of maintenance
and repair, and fingers crossed, should be out and about in time for the summer.
It is a rare car nowadays |
