Well being that the car is famous (0-60 Magazine) I would imagine someone like myself that has been lusting after that car would buy it, only I don't have the funds to go with the desire to own it.

So I hear you are looking for a Seven....join the club :thumbup:
Caterham, Lotus, Birkin, etc. ??

[MoPho]

Yes, a Caterham

[Martin]

Great!!!!

Now if you don't mind, why Caterham instead of the other options out there?
