  • Caterham lent me the 310R for the weekend so I had to take it for a blast even though the weather was pretty grim. Soo much fun, can't recommend it highly enough for this type of driving.
    Hope you enjoy the video,
    Thanks, Sam

    This went straight into my Top 5 of all time drives.. anyone else had a great experience in a Caterham?

      I have a very similar car, spec and colour scheme, love it to pieces - 100% agree on the diff. Nitron dampers have also transformed the ride.

      oh great, how are you finding that? I'm waiting for a go in Mr Achilles' which hopefully won't get expensive..

      Sam Moores initial impressions are good - looking forward to getting running in service out the way - welcome to a go in mine should you fine yourself in the Midlands

    I'm at that stage where I'm looking at caterhams .had a 1600 sigma mazda 5 speed gearbox on a 2018 Morgan 4/4 . Looked at 620R 420R think a little to powerful for rd driving ...checked 310S but the 310R Seems better .but I'm. Undesided on 1600 or 2Lb Duratec .that's where I'm at .Thanks for vid great stuff.

    Great review! My 310S is due in the new year (I've been waiting 6 months so far).... and then I just need to build it! Caterhams are the BEST and I cannot wait for mine to arrive :-D

    • @sammooresphoto

      Great stuff, what sort of number of hours do they estimate to build?

    • @Shrinkray99
      @Shrinkray99 5 років тому

      @@sammooresphoto Around about 100 hours seems to be the average. I figure 2-3 months of weekends. In a way I don't want to rush it; try and enjoy the build and then love the car. That's the plan anyway ;-)

    Can you please comment on how low the car actually is and how that impacts the drive-ability on UK roads? Also, Caterham offers a "Lowered floors" option for £ 495.00, do you think that is a good or bad option to have? Thanks.

    • @sammooresphoto
      @sammooresphoto  5 років тому +1

      Without driving the lowered option I can’t comment tbh. As tested the car was perfectly fine in all the scenarios I came across you just need to be careful with pot holes.

      @@sammooresphoto Thanks; another question, please: How did you find driving the 310 on low gears/speed vs. driving it on high gears/speed? (Another reviewer was saying that the 420 model offers the best mix of low vs. high speed driveability & performance).
