Hi, I know there were Lotus 7 S3 1300's but was interested to know if Caterham produced any from the bin loads of stuff they got from Lotus in the early days ?

According to The Magnificent Seven by Chris Rees:

"Caterham echoed Lotus's practice of offering Ford 1300GT and 1600GT engines in the Series 3 as a cheaper alternative to the Twin Cam engine. As ever, these engines were taken directly from current production Fords. However, they were initially unpopular; the 1300 unit was fitted to just four cars in total and it is unlikely that any remain with the 1.3 litre engine."
