I currently own an Exige and would love to have one of those in the future. I am interested in seeing the different setups that people run.

I'm personally not a fan of the Caterham styling. It looks old to me. I know it's supposed to, but I'm just not fond of it.

The KTM Crossbow does it for me though.It's just so damn cool looking.

I would be horrified to drive either car on public roads where I live in Los Angeles.
The roads just aren't optimal for a caterham or a lotus.

If I lived in Germany, or some part of Europe w/ better roads & more alert drivers then it would be a fun car to scoot around in.
If it were a track/autoX only car, it would be great.
They're fun toys, but maybe not the most practical.
It's so easy to hit road debris & do some major suspension/frame damage, I would imagine.

nah that europa looks cool.. plus a lightweight rotory would be perfect for that chassis

europas are certainly underpriced relative to other classic lotui(?), theyre kinda crappy though. if its a clean nice condition europa for 2 grand (which it probably isnt),
get it why not... thats 240 money for something way cooler.

edit:

id love to see a europa with a hacked up rear end.. something that doesnt look like a delivery van... a more fastback style rear end would do wonders for the look of that car

I would be so down for one of these, But I think I would have to grow a brndck mustache and wear a newsboy hat. Seriously thought, these are cool as hell to me. I would really like to have one of those they look like a blast.

There are SR lotus 7's. I read a magazine article a few years ago (Automobile) on Lotus 7's. It was some big meet/drive of 20 or 30 7's, and the magazine mentioned and pictured a few of them with SR's.
