Paul Ranson Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 It's not DaveK's car. Check the colour! (Interested in the owner's new plans though.) Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmandsd Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Why spend £38k on a used R500 when you could have this car for half the price ????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDR750 Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I don't think it costs £20k to become road legal does it !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Looks like Hefin is really having a clearout! His Lotus is also at clive's looking for a new owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Has anyone paid 38k for a used R500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDR750 Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I understood from an earlier thread that someone had paid this for a nearly new Caterham with a few extras on it.................just going from what I hear/read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 There was a used SLR at Caterham Midlands for 37250 IIRC, it has gone from the site now tho! Presumed sold. Mine can be had for a lot less!! :-)) Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Morris Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Chaos, Now you have enough room.........You could have a matched pair of sevens..........both from the same garage / builder! Perhaps Hefin would include the Esprit in Clives? Can't help but think what hes going to replace his collection with?
