Mark Widdup Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Just spotted this on Car and Classics website and might be a chance for someone to grab a bargain. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C167768/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Dave Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I really do like these, a good spec as standard with carbon bits, 6 speed, LSD etc. David Smitheram, Wiltshire (South) Joint AR, 07718 368173.

Archie Procter Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Well I went along to the auction - as I think did quite a few seveners considering the amount of interest around it - and the car was a lot scruffier than it looks in the pics, it had been in storage for years apparently, but seemingly somewhere damp as the underside of the chassis and things like the wingstays were quite rusty. The paint needs work and I'm guessing it has been long-fronted in the past as the joins are bubbling up both sides. Wheels were a bit odd as well - old Performance alloys in grey centres/silver rims. On the plus side it ran (which is good) and looked straight enough, and is definitely what it says on the tin - a 1.4K SS. A bargain for someone then? Well if you consider £9211.13 in total (£8700 plus fees) a bargain, then yes . The general consensus in the room was that it was an expensive project for someone... It wasn't a completely wasted morning as I did buy some cheap cordless phones, a couple of guitars and nearly bought a couple of tellys and a dining table 😬. Quite an entertaining place all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted July 18, 2010 Leadership Team Share Posted July 18, 2010 Wheels were a bit odd as well - old Performance alloys in grey centres/silver rims These were the standard Caterham-issue wheel for this model. It was a LE run of 30 cars, post '96 chassis with 1400SS engines and the addition of some CF Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
