Description
K series Superlight R400 (400 bhp per tone - this is a 204bhp 500kg car…), excellent condition, 15, 560 miles (with MOTs and service records to prove), two owners from new, full engine rebuild 1500 miles ago, records for over over £15, 000 spent over the last ten years with Caterham specialists, very high specification including:
1795cc 16 valve K-seres engine with dry-sump steel oil pump gear, vernier pulleys, re-mappable ECU. Dynamometer tested to 204bhp at 8100rpm, 150lbft at 6000rpm by QED (have full print out).
6 speed Caterham gearbox (a £2995 option before being discontinued) — just the best shift.
Chassis with R500 aero front suspension, watts rear linkage and LSD.
Exceptionally light and rare Mike Barnby Magnesium 13’ wheels (with Avon XXS tyres).
Carbon fibre nose cone, wheel arches, dash, seats, and Racetec side-mirrors (and aero screen for if you wish to replace the windscreen).
R500 titanium and stainless exhaust (sounds absolutely brilliant, but not so loud).
Unique slightly smaller front lights with integrated indicators (much prettier than the clumsy standard light combo) as fitted by The Seven Workshop (original lights with the car also for retro-fit if wished).
Also high mounted rear brake light, dash mounted rear-view mirror and change-up light, suede 12’ Sparco steering wheel (so much better than any original fit Caterham wheel), wind-deflector quarter-lights (for when running without doors), heater, heated screen, tonneau cover and good condition full roof with zip out rear screen also.
Full service history with Caterham specialists, MOT 350 miles ago in April, every receipt and MOT kept from when new.
Not a garage queen, but garaged all its life and really well maintained, tracked only tree or four times, and just the best Caterham specification ever being very powerful but not temperamental and with the British designed and super zingy (and light) K-series and 6 speed box.
Selling after owning for ten years as its used less and less - but in no hurry and will miss it dearly :(
Car is in Cambridge, phone me if you are interested to know more (happy to do a video call walk around also) — having sold a few classic cars recently I’m done with email scammers.
