Shouldn't it have loads of mirrors, a whippy aerial whith a foxtail on?
Personally I don't have the flowing curly locks. Maybe a car for S47? biggrin

When I was a yoof, we would ride down to brighton to set the foxtails alight. biggrin

lol, I saw this parked at the hotel I stayed at at the festival this weekend. Each to their own, but it didn't do it for me. It looked like it should belong to willy wonka.

Isn't this car a tie up with Lambretta clothing which apparently is different to the Lambretta scooter company. I can't see many of us Brits buying that spec.

I must admit I did have similar reservations when I first saw it, but if people buy them on the basis of the Lambretta connection and wouldn't have countenanced buying a 7 beforehand then probably not

No roll cage. I guess they're counting on buyers not rolling it so as not to mess up their Paul Weller hair-cuts.

Hee Hee!...i followed this car from Brighton going North, looks strange without a roll bar (think that was a mistake) but apart from the Lambretta labelling, it has a nice radical colour scheme...plus it didn't hang about. smile
The thing is, not everyone wants a car, that looks like it is just going for a trip round Spa!
If it keeps Caterham in business, can't be all bad!
(that said, wasn't my cup of tea!)

Initially I didn't think that I would like the thought of being in this car but after driving it for a while to the Stoneleigh show, I changed my opinion. I already like the Sigma engine anyway and this was a great little car to barrel along in. Plenty of looks and no negative comments at all from people who we met en-route. The lack of roll bar is to emphasis the old fashioned feel apparently.

I'm not sure i would buy one as my own car but certainly it was very enjoyable to drive
