Updated April 2023

If you’re ever looking to put together your own Caterham from a kit, there’s no better place to start than the array of blogs available from numerous other Seven enthusiasts. Many of the following certainly provided a great source of inspiration before, during and after my own build.

I don’t claim this list to be comprehensive and would apologise in advance to anyone out there I may have missed – let me know and I’ll add you on. Equally, if you're included but would rather not be, please let me know.
