SOLD: Caterham Blackbird

Recommended Posts

A rare opportunity to acquire one of only 5 (according to "The Magnificent Seven") factory built cars. Originally built for the NEC Motor Show in October 2000, I bought it in 2003 and have owned it for the last 15 years. Unfortunately, retirement and the need for "downsizing" means it needs to go to a new home. 

Spec as follows:

2000MY Imperial S3 chassis, fitted with a fuel injected Honda CBR1100XX motorcycle engine. Power approx. 160bhp at 9500rpm, but revs to 11000!

Nova Racing dry sump, with uprated Pace DS pump and large Pace oil tank.

6 speed sequential gearbox plus Nova Racing reverse box.

ZF LSD with rare 3.14 ratio (so it doesn't sit on the limiter all the way down the Hangar Straight), rebuilt by Road & Race Transmissions.

Caterham/AP 4-pot brakes, vented discs and Pagid RS14 pads on the front.

13" Barnby mags (refurbished/crack tested by MB Engineering) with CR500s. Also KN Minators with AO21Rs as road tyres/wets.

FIA bar (or Roadsport cage)/JPE aeroscreen/Tilletts/6 pt harness/Momo/Stack/Raceco Ttianium can/etc.

Please note this is a track weapon, not a polisher's car, so the metallic black paintwork has plenty of battle scars. Mechanically it is in excellent shape. Buyer also gets first dibs on a BJ Minno trailer.

Sold!
