thesheep Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Having to sell my Crossflow as we're buying a house with no garage and no off-street parking :( 1989 Caterham 1700 Supersprint View photo 1 View photo 2 Originally prepared to 1990 class B spec by SPR Engineering: Uprated engine Forged pistons Dry sump Competition exhaust, ignition cut-out, etc 4-speed, Straight-cut racing gearbox Quaife Limited Slip Diff Twin Webber 40DCOEs Live axle Cycle wings Black leather seats, in good condition Full weather gear Well known engineer Roger King worked on the engine and has given me some extra details from an early build-sheet that I can pass on. I believe the car was used in hill climbing events during the 1990s. I have a huge folder full of receipts and history that comes with the car. 33,000 miles Looks and feels like a 1980s car, with nice original patina: quite a few dings, scrapes and competition stickers, etc. Feels like you are driving a bit of history. Recent work (2009): Chassis checked over, painted and waxoyled. New suspension bushes fitted all round. New Bilstein dampers. New high-capacity gel battery. 2 x new safety harnesses. New stainless steel re-packable exhaust baffle-box. A few extras that come with the car: Spare set of wheels with 4 *new* Avon ACB10 semi-slick tyres Track-day FIA rollover bar Several other miscellaneous bits and pieces Kept garaged. Moving to a new house with no off-street parking or garage forces sale. Taxed until end of June. MOT until middle of July. £6995 Does that sound like a fair price? -------------------------------------------------------- Caterham7Junkie.com Edited by - thesheep on 24 May 2010 17:13:59 Edited by - thesheep on 25 May 2010 21:53:06 Edited by - thesheep on 25 May 2010 21:55:15 Edited by - thesheep on 2 Jun 2010 22:40:03 Edited by - thesheep on 2 Jun 2010 22:45:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesheep Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've further reduced the price to £6995. I think this really is a bit of a bargain now. However, I won't be accepting any offers below that. -------------------------------------------------------- Caterham7Junkie.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
