Neal Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hi allDue to an expanding family my Caterham is for sale. It’s a 1996 S3, which has been comprehensively upgraded in pretty much every department, as follows:Engine, drivetrain etc 1.8k series (VVC head) with the DVA Power “K06” upgrade. For more details see here http://www.dvapower.co.uk (parts also listed below) 5 speed Emerald ECU Mapped by Dave Walker to 185bhp Jenvey throttle bodies with Pipercross filters Piper cams (VVC blanked) Mocal oil cooler R500 triple pass radiator Apollo anti-cavitation system Limited-slip diff Widetrack Caterham 4-pot front brakes AP Racing brake bias valve External battery cut-off switch Staggered fit (6” front, 8” rear) Caterham superlight 8 spoke alloy wheels, with Yokohama AO48 tyres (soft compound) Professionally flat-floored for a 75kg driverExterior Raceco Titanium exhaust (repackable) Carbon front cycle wings Rear carbon wing protectors Carbon front and rear light pods FIA roll bar (single diagonal) plus driver’s door strut Black pack Indicator repeaters within the front lightsInterior Carbon dash with R500-style metal push buttons Stack ST500 rev counter. This is an extremely fancy piece of kit that has programmable shift lights, datalogging, digital speedo, 0-60, 0-100, ¼ mile times, can do lap timing and more. Controlled via a knob on the dash. Mechanical oil pressure gauge Caterham composite Tillett seats with seat pads 4 point Willans harnesses Quick release suede Momo wheel (round, not flat-bottomed) HeaterAccessories (all included in the price ) Full side screens Softbits for Sevens half hood Full hood (although note the car does not currently have hood sticks fitted). Softbits for Sevens tunnel bag Split zip tonneau with Tillett pockets “Bernard Scouse” fibreglass airbox with Pipercross filter and all fixings – backing plate attached in the engine bay. Indoor cover in good condition (just a small hole where it touched on the exhaust) Emerald Cables to connect the ECU to a laptop 3-4 litres of the correct motorsport grade oilThe private registration “C7 SUP” will also come with the car. I believe the car has been owned by several club members before me as well.The service history is really good, with a large stack of receipts.In my ownership the car has only been worked on by Andy Belcher at Tech 7. It has had a full re-wire to tidy up the under-dash area, the heater fitted and the fixing of a few poppers, plus, this week, a new alternator. I also had the black stripes applied. Andy checked the car over in May and put it through its MOT (no advisories), so it’s all ready for the summer! The car is a few years old and as such is not in mint condition, although it has been very well looked-after. Bad bits are as follows: Small crack in the NS front cycle wing (done by the previous owner) Small chip and crack in the top corner of the windscreen - has not got worse since I’ve owned the car – no impact on any MOT. Backlight on oil pressure gauge has gone Gearknob is a 6-speed knob rather than 5!It drives beautifully and is extremely responsive – weight is around 540kg (without driver) so performance is at R300 ish levels. The 1.8 is extremely torquey, but with a very strong top-end, and suits the 5-speed well. I’ve taken it on track 3 or 4 times, and it’s been brilliant fun.Pictures will follow this weekend.£14,250 but open to near offers. Happy to discuss the car at any time, just drop me a message.
