Mark Piper Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Now...is this Nigel Bent's/Chris Gale's old car or the factory built car that Caterham Cars have recently advertised (on a 54 plate). If the latter , then it really does appear to be one of a kind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatcat Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 If I wasn't heavily committed to racing I'd be sorely tempted to buy it back ! Has it still got the beautiful carbon seats and the adjustable shocks and..etc, etc Nick, if you want to start racing, come over to Lydden sometime and see what SEMSEC get up to...
