Lotus Exige to Caterham 7

Post by andy tims » Thu May 04, 2023 5:30 am

So after 4.5 years of Exige ownership between the 380 & 410 I'll be putting the 410 up for sale & moving on to a Caterham 7 sooner than planned.
I've loved the Exige's The 410 in particular is a beautiful car, but I kept my GT3 for 15 years & life is too short to not try new things.

I have a Caterham 420 Cup on order, but with engine supply issues who knows when that might materialise - Q3 of 2024? So I've bought a lovely 620S that I should be able to collect in 2 weeks.

The 620S is bonkers fast, but quite compliant, so OK on country roads, unlike the more stiffly sprung 620R.

So soon I'll have a white bike & a white car :lol:

Love the 7’s. Still out of my price range at the time, but someday hopefully I’ll be able to grab one. Congrats! And she looks beautiful.

Congrats
I do not think I would fit on one of those, nor be able to get in or out
Open cockpit it will feel faster than the Lotus.
