henry21p Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 From VJ: the car was bought as the green press car and intended as a GTO conversion - in fact, the chassis has had all of the strengthening and stiffening suitable for a race car. At the point caterham canned the GTO cars, this was then intended to be converted back to road spec, so the original body was re-fitted and repainted. As such this chassis isn't just in mint condition, it should be better than it started! It is preapred ready for a roll cage should anyone want and I believe VJ may have the roll cage for it too somewhere - the only problem is that the body would need to be adjusted to suit. It has been involved in discussions with gary at Freestyle regarding flaring the arches etc and fitting wider track bits and bobs then fitting an RST V8 engine. However, VJ seems to have been distracted by other motoring projects and wants to put his money inot those (I think they're TVR related as he was at silverstone busy lunching a TVR engine by over-revving it - there was much swearing!). The 21 has never been on track to my knowledge and it hasn't been driven since it was stripped in the early part of this century.
