PhilS Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'm looking to buy a Caterham SV (either Roadsport or Superlight). Must have the following kit (or if missing, the upgrade cost needs to be figured into my budget): At least 160bhp, so probably the VVC K-series 6-Speed box Anti-cav or dry-sump Track-day roll bar Q/R Steering wheel Harness Full weather gear & heater Superlight wheels (would prefer 13" but 15" OK) LSD The following kit isn't quite must-have, but still very important: Front brake upgrade Black pack And here's the stuff I'd like, but probably won't get most of it: Start button Fire extinguisher Carbon cycle wings Carbon dash Stack display Spare wheel Aero filler cap I'm on a budget of ~£20k and have the cash waiting (well I will have in the next 3-4 days) for the right car. Idealy I'd like to buy something in the next week or two. Colour is not too important as long as it's not too daft (no bright pink or day-glow green), but prefer something bright or metalic and I do like stripes. If anyone's got anything for sale that fits the criteria, let me know. Cheers, PhilS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil_K Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Caterham South have a good looking Orange one with virtually all that kit on for £21k - I was in there today and it's nice - caught my eye. And it has a stripe ........ 😶🌫️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilS Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Nice car, but no LSD, no anti-cav & no uprated brakes. Also it's 21500, which is a little off budget. At that price, if it had everything I wanted, I might just be able to stretch after negotiation with the other half, but I'd want to upgrade it straight away and that would cause trouble.

Dizz Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Phil Please see my e-mail. As you've seen, my car meets your spec plus shift lights, rear brake light and lowered floor - apart from the 6-speed box - so if we're that close, I'm sure we can do a deal Cheers Dizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Long Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 PhilS, I can vouch for Dizz's car - it's been well looked after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilS Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Agreed. I've seen Dizz's and it is very nice. If it had a 6-speed box it would just what I'm looking for. Can't quite run to the cost of his car & a 6-speed box. Unless anyone knows of a box going cheap of course. Also the cash now won't be freed up until towards the end of next week, but I'm still looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Long Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi PhilS, As I'm sure you've come to realise, no two 7s are the same, and I think you'd be hard pushed to find one of the exact spec you're after?! The 6 Speed box wouldn't stop me, but then each of us have differing requirments. I think you'd be impressed with the 5 Speed, and at least it gives you something to upgrade to next winter when you catch 'upgradeitis' 😬 Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I can vouch for Dizz's car too - lovely vehicle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
