The range of models should help Caterham greatly expand its operations, and already the company sells close to 50% of its models in nations other than its home market. Ansar Ali, the managing director of Caterham, explains that his company now has “a new sense of freedom to build on and expand” its sales, and that it is a “huge achievement for a manufacturer of [Caterham's] size”.
