  1. Saw this car in arrowstar a couple of years ago. History is started life as JPE purchased by one of the heirs to Tetra-Pak who live in Oxfordshire. He spent about £55K in total getting it turboed by whoever-turbotechnics/Courteny etc., then traction control etc., etc. After 6 months he got bored and gave it to Arrowstar to sell-at whatever price they could get!! They sold it for £22-23K if I remember correctly- apparently it is something of a beast, but I tell you what- I'd have sold my Granny......
  2. Any recommendations for good replacement batteries for 1996 HPC? Same size as original to minimise fiddling-got too many other jobs to do this Winter Thanks
  3. Pierre, The spec of the bolt is stamped on the head. Check to see if it's 12.9. If not, personally I would replace it.
  4. There was a report about shearing radius arm bolts I think in Low Flying 2 or 3 years ago - at that time kerbing the rear wheels was thought to be contributory. I called Caterham and had them send me two upgraded bolts to the new spec (minimum 12.9 HT)for my '96 HPC. The bolts they were using at the time were 8.8 I think.
  5. Grover, Biggest problem is standard spring compressors don't fit the small pitch of the springs - I borrowed? a custom-made compressor
