It was as I folded myself into the tiny cockpit of the Caterham Super Seven 600, that I made my first mistake. Collecting the car from Caterham’s shiny new factory facilities in the London Thameside suburb of Dartford, I weighed up the practicalities of removing the canvas roof for the half an hour journey back home to South London. The sun beat down and I had no sunglasses or hat. Best keep the roof in place.
