CATERHAM CARS ON CAMERA

Caterham Cars made its debut at the Regent Street Motor Show this year. For several years, Caterham has sadly never been a ‘cars on carpet’ exhibitor at shows and it approached this event no differently.

Instead of simply displaying a car on the iconic London street, Caterham showcased its appeal as a car you can build as a kit at home by staging a live build of one of its legendary Sevens.
