Hi everyone
Following a rather impulsive purchase of a DVA-tuned and heavily uprated 1.8k, our current 7 is for sale. Bought from a club member a year ago, we'd intended keeping it a while, so someone's going to get the benefit of recent upgrades and major service work! All work on the car during our ownership has been done by Andy Belcher at Tech 7 in Redhill, who has always been complimentary about the car's condition. Anyway, details below:
Summary
- 1.6k Supersport (standard engine, shift light in dash)
- First registered July 1997
- De Dion chassis, tunnel handbrake
- 5 speed
- 20,500 miles
- MOT to March 2014, Tax to end October this year
Detailed spec
- Newly-fitted Titan LSD (set up by Road and Race, fitted by Andy Belcher around 1000 miles ago
- 13” Caterham 8 spoke anthracite (R300-style) wheels (6” front, 8” rear) with Toyo R888 tyres
- Apollo tank
- Tillett seats with Oxted trimming seat pads
- Bilsteins with adjustable platforms – I had it flat-floored by Fishy Dave on here
- Quick release momo wheel
- Black pack headlights and new style rear indicator pods
- High-level brake light (using an LED rain light I think)
- Caterham 4 point harnesses
- Heater
- Carbon rear wing protectors
- Full weather equipment and “soft bits” half hood
- 12v socket
- Starter button
- Caterham rubber mats
- Map pocket
- Standard immobiliser with 2 fobs
History:
- Full stamped history from Caterham and specialists, including post-build inspection by Caterham
- Replacement head gasket at Caterham in 2010. It’s been sold (twice) I think by Caterham themselves. The previous owner bought it from Caterham South.
- Cambelt and sump foam changed last year (Tech 7)
- Last service (oil change) in March 2013 (Tech 7)
Bad bits
- Couple of stone chips on the front end
- Driver’s side rear wing has a small crack in the outside edge
- Oil pressure gauge reads (wrongly) low sometimes – it’s the electronic type and we were proposing to move to a mechanical gauge in due course.
- Rear tyres are a little low on tread, fronts are good
Pictures are probably best viewed on a Pistonheads ad here
Clicky clicky
We're after 13,250 pounds for it, which I think is fair, but open to sensible offers, especially from on here, as I'd really like it to go to a good home.
Thanks for reading!
