How is it that Avast has forced you into sending advertisements instead of the mail you intended? They've been banned from my computers for years.

Caterham has stayed true to the Colin Chapman philosophy embodied in the
Lotus Seven. Very minimalist with carpets and weatherproofing being
optional
extra's !!! However it does give 150 mph from 260 bhp with acceleration
that
Wing Commander Barker would be use to.

For a fun three wheeler I would prefer the quirky offering from Morgan
Cars
in Malvern.

Read about it here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Seven#Top_speed

It was sold as a kit car in the UK which made it very popular since it
avoided the taxes on a finished car.
Lotus eventually sold the rights to a company called Caterham which has
continued development and sales and produces many different models.
<http://uk.caterhamcars.com/> There are other companies which produce
similar cars.

As I pulled into restaurant parking lot this evening, I noticed an
unusual machine parked there.  A departing customer identified it
as a Polaris Slingshot, and commented that it was supposed to be a
"badass"
machine.  All I had was my smart phone, so this is what I got. A
quick search revealed that it has a 4-cyl 2.4 liter engine and
5-speed transmission driving the rear wheel with a reinforced belt.
