My car & I
No windows, no seat padding, no problem
It’s about as close “ to motorcycling as I will ever come,” says Daniel Goodison of his Caterham Seven Superlight R, a 220bhp road and track weapon that weighs just 485kg. “There are no side windows, there’s no windscreen, 0-60mph takes 3.5sec and 0-100mph 8.2sec and the 1.8-litre engine is limited to 7500 or 8400rpm on track days. I love it.”
I’ve no doubt he does. It’s barely above freezing when we meet and the roads are covered with salt, but he has driven to deepest Hampshire from Dorset for his car club meet and it’s still only 9.30 in the morning.
