My dream road spec duratec for sale

[madmaninshed]

Having owned many Caterhams from 1.6 VX to CSR260, we decided to build a Caterham for fun road use - not the fastest, but light, agile, reliable and fun. After 15 months working (on and off) with an excellent race engineer, and well over £25k it was finished, and the car, which had a 4 page article in the club magazine a few years back, was ready to MOT and map. As always with a project like this, there are a few minor tweaks planned to do. Due to new job, house move in 2 weeks and loss of double garage, it is offered for quick sale. Otherwise it will be stored for future use.

Here is the spec....

Hi Mike,

I was retired, but the job came along - just got back (worked good Friday, Easter Monday and today) which was a shock. However, I am really enjoying it, demonstrating remote controlled garage doors and then measuring up. There is a working one fitted in the back of my van. Virtually every visit they send me on results in an order as they are great doors at a fraction of the price of others. I meet people with amazing cars and bikes, and it is a real joy. The down side is that it does rather take over your life. with no time to spend on it at the moment, it seemed a good idea to offer the car before our move. as renting a garage away from the home doesn't really appeal. Regards, Paul.

Paul, do you have roller type garage doors, I am look to have one fitted in the Surrey area, Mike

[madmaninshed]

Hi Mike, Yes we only make high quality roller doors and supply direct to the public at a fraction of the normal price. Regards, Paul.

No interest in my 7 but loads of e-mails about remote controlled garage doors....so I asked the company if they will offer a bulk buy to club members, family and friends....and they will. They can offer no further discount on a £699 single door special offer package, but can give a massive discount on a superior system with longer range operation, AEG motor and lots of other features. I am having one of these, and we need 9 more installations to obtain the discount. If of interest, please check out the bulk buy section - it should be on there this weekend. Single doors, door and a half and doubles are all discounted. I have just managed to rent another garage near to my own, so the 7 is staying.

.....ps...when one garage door shuts...another one opens......sorry! 😳
