1987 Caterham Xflow for sale

[Mike Bees]

Posting on behalf of a friend - an excellent buy for anyone looking for a car at the budget end of the Caterham price range:

 

------------------------------

Anyone want a top spec Seven at a budget price?

 

I currently have two Sevens in my garage and one has to go to finance purchase/renovation of the other so it is priced to sell at around £8,000.

 

What you get for your money is a 1987 long cockpit Caterham with a dry-sumped 1,700cc Harris Performance Engines X-Flow (rebuilt 99), twin 45 DCOE Webers, 244 Kent cam, Vulcan III head with unleaded valve seats, Duplex Vernier timing gear, steel rocker posts, 4 into 1 comp. exhaust Lumenition ignition with rev limiter, mated to lightened, balanced competition clutch and a 2000E gearbox with Quaife straight-cut/close-ratio internals (built with new gears and lubrication mods by Brian Hill 99). Back axle is Escort with RS2000 brakes and a 4.1 limited slip diff.

 

Overall spec includes FIA race roll bar, full high visibility wet weather gear, honeycomb driver and fuel tank protection, black/ali bodywork, rear-mounted battery, SPR comp springs, adj platform Spax shox, tonneau, boot cover, Revolutions with List 1A Falkens plus a host of spares including

gearbox and diff. The car is fully road legal.

 

This car was built by me and has been raced, sprinted and hillclimbed ever since and has under 4,000 miles on the clock. It is a multiple class winner including one last year in the highly competitive CCC series beating several 200+ bhp Rover-engined cars. Slow it ain't...

 

The new owner can continue to embarrass newer cars, keep it for track days or turn it in to a swift road car with the spares package that comes with it and all for a bargain £8,000.

 

Caterhams this good do not come cheaper.
