As one old enough to remember when Caterham's were called Lotus 7's and a long time admirer of Colin Chapman I seriously considered getting a "long" wheelbase clone. It got as far as buying the "Locost" book and then I decided that it was not practical for me. Of course if I win the lottery the second car I buy, after the GT3, would be a car with 13 inch wheels;
