CATERHAM, UNITED KINGDOM � November 26, 2009: The Caterham Superlight R500 may be small and lightweight, and on many a petrolheads� wish list, but only now is it tiny enough to fit into a Christmas stocking.
Caterham Cars� most rapid road-going vehicle has been recreated to scale complete with remote control and BBC Top Gear�s The Stig behind the wheel.
The miniature Caterham R500 celebrates the model�s star turn on BBC Top Gear last December.
The full size version demonstrated its blistering speed around the programme�s famous test track, recording one of the fastest ever laps, and scooping the show�s coveted Car of the Year award for 2008.
At 1:16 scale, with full function radio control, the model makes for an ideal gift for anyone over the age of 8 years.
Not only is the Caterham R500 available in two colours - the famous white and red stripe, plus the yellow and black combination - but both are on separate radio frequencies, allowing owners to race each other.
Exclusively sold from Marks & Spencer stores nationwide, the remote controlled Caterham R500 is priced �19.99.
Alternatively, contact Caterham Cars direct for the full size version, by calling 01883 333700 or by visiting www.caterham.co.uk.
