Announcing the New & Improved Caterham Team Lotus...

At least that’s what I think they’re calling it now, eh? As Y’all may have heard the news that current Team Lotus (2.0) Enterprise Bosses Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun have just recently acquired control of Caterham Cars, (having been publicly named to its Board of Directors a Fortnight ago...) which I have a somewhat fleeting connection too... Having the privilege of meeting its founder Graham Nearn once before his untimely demise...


Thus today, in what was not exactly a secret – it was publicly announced that Caterham Cars is now officially under the control of Team Lotus Enterprise; Hmm? Anybody else catch the subtlety of the word Enterprise having been affixed...

As Fernandes & Co apparently are seeking to utilize the spiritual Lotus Cars connection linked to Caterham in their efforts to crack the automotive marketplace after the current Lotus Cars was unwilling to play ball; as I like Grizzled ‘Journo Joe Saward’s ‘Quip bout Fernandes & Co just patiently waiting in the wings to swoop-in and pay 1-ringet for the bloated ‘N broken Group Lotus from PROTON – who haven’t exactly moved the marque anywhere so far...
