ʻAʻole ʻo Caterham i hoʻopilikia i nā kūʻai kūloko, akā ua loaʻa nā ala ala retro-styled i kēia manawa i nā ʻano ʻono ākea e kūpono i nā ʻono a pau.
Ua ʻike mua ʻia ʻo Lotus Seven, ua kūʻai ʻia nā kuleana hoʻolālā i ke kaʻa haʻuki ʻelua noho hope ʻelua iā Caterham i ka makahiki 1950, me ke kūʻai ʻia ʻana o nā kaʻa ma ke ʻano he kits a ma waho o ka papa.

Hiki i ka waihona 275 ke hoʻihoʻi i 6.2 lita o ka wahie no 100 km, e hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai ka ʻauhau kaʻa kaʻa.
ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka hana uila, ʻokoʻa ka mana hoʻopaʻa pono uila, a ʻaʻohe wahi e loaʻa ai nā pahu kīʻaha, nā pahu mīkina lima, a me nā aniani vanity.
