caterhams, Lotus 7 etc?
Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2007 9:23 pm
off topic I know, but as this is a pretty knowledgable forum, and as a number of you seem to own them, I thought I'd ask a quick question...
My dad and me are looking to buy a Lotus 7 (type) car for me to hillclimb and him to use occasionally on the road. Cost is a major factor (dad's just moved house and I'm 26 and poor!) and clearly a "real" 7 is out of the question. So too are caterhams I think as they're still fairly pricey...
however, I was wondering what the differences were with the Westfields, Robin Hoods, Tigers, etc... are they all essentially the same? (apart from the various engine variations etc?) What's best to go for, or best to avoid? We want a good runner, but not afraid of a little work..
Interested in all your thoughts.... Many thanks
