I’ve been searching for info on a Purple Caterham show car that my “new to me” Caterham is to have been based on. I found a
BBC video on YouTube of the 1991 Motorfair at Earls Court in London. This was an early version of Top Gear. A blue Caterham HPC is shown around 28:12. If you watch this let it run past the Caterham so you can see and HEAR the V8 Ginetta and I think the TVR. The end shows the three presenters in a strange car driving out into traffic. You’ll know the driver right off.
This blue car has a plate that reads Auberge. This led me to Chris Rea’s Album and song by the same name. Give it a listen and notice Chris’ own Caterham in the video.
