Description
This is my Caterham Super 7 HPC- Powered by a Vauxhall 2L 16V engine this example was delivered in kit form to James Whiting the famous Caterham builder ( has his plaque under the bonnet ) I have all the factory paperwork and correspondance recording the requirements of the owner .
The car has-
Dry sump ( for lower engine seating )
Revised cam shafts
Dashboard low pressure Oil warning light
Weber 45mm DCOE Carburettors controlled by under body linkage instead of the normal cable arrangement.
Weber Alpha fuel injection system
Cooling system improvemnt.
Aeroquip rear brake lines.
Side exit four into one exhaust with balanced primaries.
Four pot caliper brake uprate
Four point seatbelt harness
Aluminium engine toolbox
leather dashboard
Wilton carpets
map holder
The car has full wet weather hood
tonneau cover
half doors as well as the full door set
additional Caterham boot bag for touring
Tool kit and jack.
There is a separate aluminium Brooklands twin aeroscreen with wide rear mirror and side mirrors.
The car has the original factory painted Rolls Royce yellow colour scheme.
Tyres are 205/ 45 and are nearly new on Caterham Super 7 wheels
The car has a full MOT with no advisoriesPower is delivered smoothly throughout the rev range and although the car is brisk the drive is very tractable with both power and braking capabilities nicely matched.
There are only a few paint chips picked up on our trips to Le Man/ Pau and other classic car events . Otherwise car looks / starts and runs beautifully.
I had a new cambelt and followers fitted last year and this year had both seats refilled to give a more comfortable ride .
Unfortunately I am at an age where a more gentle ride like a Morgan beckons.
