I have held on to all my books and tools for the last quarter century in devout hope that such will someday be the case. I am, however, quite familiar with Caterhams AND the original Lotus from which they were derived; Morris the Mini and I used to trounce a couple of them regularly in club gymkhanas, much to the annoyance of the owners who were well on their way to winning the club championships for like the seventh or eight year running when I showed up... (Admittedly none of us were set up to be anything like stock vehicles and I had more mod points available due to lower displacement. I was also a far quicker driver and the courses tended to favor the Mini's handling over the Lotus's extra power..) -- R.
