The 'geometric incorrectness' (!) is also true for the driveshafts of course,
as the wheels have a fixed distance between them even though the driveshafts
change angle. This is not a problem as this design allows the springs to be
mounted in a very vertical position, which gives a short travel and reasonably
stiff suspension using only one spring.

I've fixed these links so go 'travel back in time...' Thanks for pointing
them out!
I'll try to get some photos of the Caterham on the site soon!
