kenny. Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Time has come to sell my HPC due to purchase of another 7. I've owned this car for 2 and half years and in that time have spent a lot on it and improved upon it no end. It is a pukka HPC wth the all important "H" in the chassis number and even features the original "HPC" nose badge. Hardly used in my ownership apart from a few shows and has never been abused whilst in my care. Every MOT and bill is with the car from new as well as original factory invoices and proof of Swindon conversion before sale. Advertised here before it's thrown to the Pistonhead fraternity.

Runs as sweet as a nut and pulls like train............very quick car. Gearbox: Straight cut Quaiff 5 speed pro. box c/w Heavy duty clutch. Chassis: De Dion in nice order. Wide tracked with recent dampers fitted. Wheels: As new original HPC alloys shod with excellent Goodyear F1's (6 and 7" superlights shod with 888's available and de dion ears fettled to suit, by negotiation) 4 pot "Big" Caterham brakes fitted. 260mm Suede Momo Leather seats Luke 6 point harnesses Carbon stone guards Carbon Sill protectors Air horns Tall colour matched FIA bar Full weather gear Full Toneau cover Black headlights FIA cut out 5 digit HPC number plate inc. in price. Loads more I'll have forgotton. A real nice looking and rare 7 with a stunning turn of speed.

CanAm Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hi Kenny, If they don't go with the car, I'd be interested in the Mog half-doors. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Air horns nice 😬 How much for the 2 x 6" and 2 x 7" minilight style alloys with excellent fresh 888s? Cheers, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny. Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've had a lot of emails about the spare parts asking for prices for them. As I said in the advert I would offer the whole lot of what I have to the new owner first as a package, so he could have the choice of the old school look as the car left the factory or a more modern look with the bits fitted.......car looks equally nice either way, it's down to choice. If the car does not sell here I will put it on PH in its original factory trim and will advertise the parts again on here to club members after working out individual prices. Thanks, Kenny PS The air horns are a lot lighter (and louder) than that croaking lump of cast iron that was nailed to the steering rack which the car was originally sent out with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Nick Chan Posted April 21, 2011 Area Representative Share Posted April 21, 2011 I don't often chip in on a For Sale thread but after my boss bought Kenny's TVR Chimaera last year and subsequently sent it in for a service with a TVR specialist this spring, the comment from the specialist was that the car had a lot of money spent on it and the condition was excellent throughout and it was definite keeper. I reckon this HPC could be the same! Now Kenny, the address to send that fiver is... 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny. Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Many thanks Nick for that,appreciated a lot, also Finmac thanks. Trust and honesty is the rule here on this forum I've found, I've seldom been let down and when buying and have always been brutally honest when selling...........I bought the JPE without seeing it and took the vendor at his word, car was better than described. You could safely do the same with this HPC as I would describe it warts and all in any conversations I had with interested parties............nothing but nothing would be hidden as the car is genuine and excellent for its year. Cheers, Kenny PS Nick, I'll chuck the fiver in the post as soon as I sell something............I've not a pot to p1ss in at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrolhead Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Quoting kenny.: Well I've answered all the questions to the 30+ emails I've had from here and PH, and sent out hundreds of pics................not one viewing, so it can't be the car then Must be the price,so...................... O.N.O Unfortuneatly it looks like the market may have stalled, there are currently over 70 Caterhams for sale on Pistonheads. Others here (BC) selling their cars on PH are in the same boat. Good time if your a buyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
