Thanks all... look like my 20 ebayed items will pay for a nice bling battery and battery box in carbon 😬.... at least by my caculation that is a 90% reduction in "stuff". Slightly surprised that the PVR25 only saves 1.6 kgs compared to the Banner ☹️ Edited by - rynicolson on 8 Apr 2013 18:18:29

Thx both... GJT if you can be 🙆🏻'd a scanned copy would be great. I know I know I should keep them but I have "stuff" in 4 locations across the Uk and have to reduce, plus over the coming few years planning to live in a 40' x 11' space 😬 so really need less stuff! SMT will look into the RMD.... cheers Richard Edited by - rynicolson on 8 Apr 2013 18:16:09

Thx I knew I had read something in LF... will look on line as I no longer keep back copies...

Ok I have always had the standard CC banner battery. Mine needs replacing as it has had little use for a few years and not holding charge. I thought I might as well go for a race battery / smaller / lighter. What is the best one for the job in terms of weight / size reduction but with good starting / use performance? Thx Richard

BTTT 😬 Going on ebay tonight....

Sold to Colin - sorry Peter.

OK Colin... YHM cheers Richard

OK Peter... sent him the photos so will wait to see his response!

I have a brand new, unworn Caterham tie. The tie was produced in the late 90's or early 00's. It is silk, with printed images of nose cones, exhausts, wheels and both 7 AND 21 logo (like the old nose cone badge). It is quite a "modern design" 😬 Happy to e mail a photo to interested buyers. It will go on e bay if no takers here as I am guessing there aren't many of them out there £15 incl P&P Richard

Thanks Ian... IF anyone does want to view please give me 24 hrs notice as I am not on the island for WB as I'm on the "North Island" BUT I will jump in the rib from the Hamble and come across for serious viewers. Car is located in Cowes.

Sylva Phoenix – Rebuild project One of the most eye catching of them all: Alloy sills with black gel coated body. This car is great but needs a rebuild. Not a big job but I have other cars and other projects on the go so this one must very reluctantly go. I have removed the engine ancillaries (i.e. starter, alternator, battery etc.) and cockpit parts and these are labeled & boxed. The engine & gearbox are ready to lift out once the drive shaft is disconnected. The bonnet hinges have been removed and boxed so the engine bay is accessible, with lights etc. boxed and wiring labeled. MAIN AREAS OF REBUILD REQUIRED ARE: Replace the block (or fit a replacement engine) due to engine mount tearing a hole in the block. Inspect and make good all internals as damage unknown. Re-weld the broken custom made SS exhaust manifold and pipe (it is a work of art). Some wiring upgrades would be advisable. New front (& probably rear) wheel bearings. Replace some of the alloy sill & floor sections (or fit the spare sills). Fair / make good body / bonnet and spray. Refurbish cockpit / seating. HISTORY OF THE CAR: Built and raced in 750 series by Ian Gray of Stuart-Taylor Motorsport, it was first registered in April 1997. The second owner (a RR engineer) bought the car in October 1998 and raced it four times up until September 2001 before he SORNed and garaged it. I bought it in April 2005. I used it extensively between 2005 & 2009 it has been SORN’d since. Throughout my ownership, in addition to my own labour, work was carried out by either: Troy at Northampton Motorsport or Mel when he was running Raw Engineering. The car was track tested by Mark hales in Car and Car Conversions in October 1998 edition. The spec is as follows: ENGINE: Ford 1.6 CVH built by Procomp Motorsport @ 135 BHP Twin Webber 40’s DCOE carbs with twin cable linkage. CV27 canshaft ISKY valve springs Solid valve lifters Ported and gas-flowed head Escort Turbo crankshaft Vandervall bearings Lowered sump, modified oil pick up and oil cooler GEARBOX: Ford Cortina TranX 4 Speed, straight cut, close ratio gears. It is a wonderful box! DIFF: Escort Mk2 3.9:1 ratio WHEELS: Choice of 13” Minators (black spokes) or 13” 4 Spoke Revolution (black spokes) SPARES / OTHER: Spare starter motor Spare set of sills Alloy luggage rack for touring (clamps to rollbar) Petty strut + other bits and pieces The car is located on the Isle of Wight. I can provide photos prior to any viewing. I will refund the ferry price to a successful buyer who views. Additionally I am willing to deliver the car at my cost UK mainland as far north as Glasgow / Edinburgh and within reason to the SW or E Anglia. £2900 Richard M: 07584 250203 richardnicolson@hotmail.com Edited by - rynicolson on 5 Apr 2013 01:08:12
