Dozy as I am, I didn’t think to check the price of my test Caterham Seven CSR 20 until I sat down to gather my thoughts. I had wanted to start my essay discussing its deceptive blend of retro style and high-tech features, and its long history as a British sports car legend.
However, you see, I was so gobsmacked that I have been forced to “nose off”, as we say in the trade, on something even more remarkable – its rather startling price tag of £79,995. Yes, you read that right. The most expensive Caterham ever. Chasing Porsche territory.
