I’m considering buying a new Caterham, so I’d like to see if anyone has an interest in buying mine.
I bought it in 2007. It was originally built by RMSCI in �98, and I believe might be the first Superlight with a Zetec in the country. I am the third owner. The second used it for his daily driver, so it had 25K + miles on it (odometer is stuck there). Registered in California under SB100. I’ve spent a lot of time refurbishing and upgrading the car since then. Here are some specs:
’98 Caterham Superlight (CF fenders, nose, dash, widetrack suspension, quick release steering wheel), Zetec, 5 speed, LSD, Full weather gear (in good shape but not currently on car), leather seats
Additions in the past two years:
Engine rebuilt with:
Lightweight flywheel
Forged rods and pistons, balanced
ARP main and head bolts
Oversized valves
Port and polished heads
Kent FZ2002 cams
Baffled oil pan
Jenvey individual throttle bodies and manifold
Emerald programmable ECU with new wiring harness
Braille ultralite battery
New Alternator and Starter
Oil catch can
Caterham Aluminum 3 pass radiator
All suspension bushings replaced
Freestyle Motorworks adjustable coilovers and sway bars
Brand new ARP racing upgraded brakes and rotors (waiting for old rotors to wear out before replacing)
Brake biasing valve
Upgraded front hubs
New rear hubs
Differential rebuilt
Carbon fiber aeroscreen with mirrors
Track day rollbar, strut, and side intrusion bar
New carbon fiber nosecone (not yet installed)
Spare hood, painted the same color as the car (I was thinking of going the duratec route and wanted a hood that could be cut with the intake on the other side)
New paint
I have the original shocks, windshield, wipers, rollbar, sway bars, tonneau, four point belts, radiator, intake, ECU, etc.
Issues not resolved yet are: odometer stuck, coolant hoses aging.
This car is not a show car, but is pretty well sorted mechanically and looks good. I’d like to get $34,000 for it. I’d be embarrassed to admit how much money I’ve put into this car the last few years, so let’s just say I'm asking much, much less than I have into it. I'm not too eager to sell it, so if I can't get this price I'd be happy to keep driving it!
Thanks,
Justin
