Very nice looking lil' car indeed, but surely it must be chassis number 12 B or 14A or something. I have a good friend who bought a Caterham R500 that was known as chassis 14 but was actually 13 in the production line but the factory didn't use 13's so hence it being number '14'. It was a dreadfully unlucky car and has had numerous owners etc since he sold it on and no-one has done much mileage in it. None kept it long so the 'luck' wasn't just my mate's bad luck with it!!!

Not a single problem? Not one?
Are you sure it's a car and not a hologram then LOL.
All cars have something not right/not perfect; even when factory built.
Have lots of fun whatever!!!

Not one single problem runs sweet and is all sweet body wise it's called quality engineering by Richard Oakes he built cars with no problems and is a very respected person ! As Geoff Harvey will back me up on that !
