When you've got a brand new Caterham on the driveway for a week you want to drive it all the time and take it on adventures, so me and my good buddy David planned a long one day trip to some of the best bits of Wales to look for good roads, epic scenery, and some good photo opportunities.
Hope you enjoy watching our adventure...
EDIT - I've had lots of messages about the phone holder used in this video, and you can buy it here... amzn.to/3s0eyTZ

I genuinely believe that when it comes to a quick Caterham, there is no substitute. Nothing can touch it for the pure visceral joy of driving. You can keep your Fezza, Lambo, Mac, etc.

Hiya Yeah this is a narrow chassis and I'm a bit fat and 6ft so it prob looks a bit snug ! Still comfy enough once you're in. Definitely intimate with a passenger about the same size! I'd go for the SV chassis which is the wide one, and the comfy padded seats give you a bit more width on your hips as the seats don't wrap around. Happy to answer any other questions?

@@edwardkim2179 Hey fair observation I guess, but I'd still prefer a full cage than a half cage in the event of a crash or roll over - more rigidity in the car, and in a rollover the windscreen would fold flat and potentially come towards you.
