I suppose it depends upon how much free time you have.... maybe something to consider when I'm retired.... yeah right, so that's ever going to happen?!

Nice motor to have though :-)
That was my plan, build one when I retired but decided better not to wait do it while I could, so built it before I retired but ended up with it actually on the road 3 months after I retired.
It is very satisfying to have something you built on the road and I would say reason I bought one was 60% that I wanted to build it and 40% that I wanted a Caterham
to drive. This could change in the next few months now its on the road.
