soapdragon Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Its been mentioned on a couple of other threads(ie; Father Christmas arriving in one and a driving day in one) but could someone tell me what A CATERHAM is, please? As far as I am concerned its a place in Surrey!! No doubt I'll feel REALLY stupid when its explained but its just bugging me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterham_7 It used to be a Lotus 7, but Caterham bought the design. Basically, a kit car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Palmer Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 It's the car Patrick McGoohan drives in the opening credits of The Prisoner - that's the only reason I know how to recognise one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 DD goes to school near Caterham so we see them a lot....funky little cars, if you like looking at other cars wheel rims Even I can recognise one now...DS was (almost) impressed when I texted to say I'd seen 3 together on the way to collect him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearls007 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 My son goes to school in Caterham. Coincidentally the school has a kit car club! We see a lot of them - but then we drive past the showroom on the way to school...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 It's the car Patrick McGoohan drives in the opening credits of The Prisoner - that's the only reason I know how to recognise one! That was a Lotus 7, Lotus still own the car KAR 120C. KAR 121C a copy sold on ebay for a small fortune several years ago. I shall now go, and hang up my anorak.

Chicken Shirl Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Not sure I will be allowed to post this......I understand if the mods delete it. My husband owns the factory that make the Alloy Wheels for Caterham Cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
