Once you’re tuned in to the Caterham’s immediate responses, short-throw gearbox and amazing agility, you can cover ground really quickly. The tiny steering wheel commands an instant reaction – a flick of the wrists is enough to get through even tight bends. With the seat just inches above the tarmac, the wind rushing through your hair and the noise of the exhaust blaring away beside you, it feels even faster – and it gets better when you arrive at a corner. Even with only 120bhp on tap, acceleration is lively and the 0-60mph sprint takes only 5.9 seconds. Fasten the four-point safety harness and you’re ready to go – although it’s best to leave the flimsy sidescreens in position, because turbulence is severe when they’re removed.Īn intoxicating driving experience is guaranteed with the Caterham.

The workmanlike dash and confined surroundings make perfect sense from behind the wheel, where you enjoy a distinctive view down the louvred bonnet. Threading yourself through the tiny door feels as if you’re being posted through an odd-shaped letterbox! An optional race-style removable steering wheel (£270) improves access, but with the hood in place it’s another matter. You’re exposed to the elements, and the tiny pedals are close together in the narrow footwell. The snug cabin feels more like an aircraft cockpit than a car interior. We would recommend splashing out an extra £920 for the proper windscreen fitted to our test car, though, as the standard wind deflector is for hardcore drivers. Its long nose and low body are unlike anything else on the road, and the car attracts attention everywhere you go. Whichever you choose, you’ll get the legendary Caterham look, which is directly related to Colin Chapman’s original Seven design. Opt for a factory build, and the price rises to £17,300, although the less powerful 105bhp 1.4-litre model is cheaper still, at £13,300 for the kit and £16,300 fully assembled.

Then again, you’ll need to be good with a set of spanners to bring the two-seater in on budget – as the £14,300 price is for the kit, which you’ll need to assemble yourself. Why? Well, if you’re going to invest in a stripped-out sports car that’s likely to spend the winter months sheltering in a garage, this 120bhp model provides 80 per cent of the fun of the company’s storming £30,600 R400 for 50 per cent of its price. While flagship models stand out with their supercar-rivalling pace, less powerful examples actually make much more sense. Caterham has been building its Lotus Seven-based sports car for decades, and the 1.6-litre Classic represents the affordable end of the range. An average-sized budget doesn’t mean high-performance thrills are out of your reach – and here’s the car to prove it.
