It's a 310S SV. It's the green and grey on in the Rocky Mountain Caterham "inventory" section.

Delivery this morning. Time to get crackin'.

Thanks

John, Thank you very much. No particular hurry, but I would love to see the results of your research. Other folks might like to see it, too. Squeegee

Thanks. That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for.

I've ordered a 310S with the standard "all-weather" Avon tires. I plan to mount a set of 14" Dunlops for track days, etc. I realize I could just order another set of wheels from Caterham, but what are my after market options? I believe that MkI VW GTIs and early Miatas used 14" four lug wheels. What would be a safe bet for fitting the current Caterham?

I agree that there are way too many possibilities, but once I decided on the 310, everything else fell into place. The only thing I even came close to agonizing over was the paint. I came very close to going with green with an orange nose stripe and a matching orange roll bar, but orange is a little flashy for me. Same with the wheels. The 14" minilite looking wheels are just a little more conservative and more to my taste. If I start doing track night and autocross, I can always get Dunlop Direzza ZIII in that size. The other argument for 14" is the fact that I will be doing a lot of driving through the Ouachita and Ozark National Forests (Highway 7, "The Pig Trail", etc.) Great roads, but often your final destination at a lodge or fishing resort is 2-3 miles down a gravel road. In a case like that every extra millimeter of clearance will be appreciated. I have just retired after over 30 years in the State Department Foreign Service (mostly Africa) so ANY Seven will be the highest performance car I have driven in a long time.

Croc, Here's the spec I decided on. I plan to assemble it myself. The factory literature says that it can be put together by a "diligent amateur." I am confident that what I may lack in diligence, I more than make up for in amateurishness.

It's not quite as dramatic as "The Last Lifeboat Off The Titanic" or "The Last Chopper Out Of Saigon" but I just got word that my 310S SV kit was in the last shipment of four Caterhams to leave the factory before COVID-19 caused them to shut down. Josh Robbins tells me that two of the four were for the UK market and two (including mine) are coming to Rocky Mountain Caterham. I'm chuffed.
