RogW Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 *** NOW SOLD *** The buyer is also taking the additional wheels; Alpha Unit and Half Doors. The tillets - jp7 - I will take some pics of them and email them to you. A sad day after 19 years of Caterhams - but the HPC going to a good home. A 1969 MGC GT is its replacement.

Wile7 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Blimey that was quick! Well done.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogW Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yup was quick! I gather the gentleman has been looking for nearly 2 years - so I feel happy that it has met his exacting standards - its a VERY good car. AND Wile7 - I do believe I have converted him and his son to see the light and agree that CLAMS ARE GOOD . . . ! Be VERY sad to see it go :( But the MGC opens a new driving chapter . . . (inc how to extract more power . . . ! ) Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedlr Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I went the other way Rog - from a race prep'd MGC GT to the Caterham. Enjoy, the straight 6 sounds beautiful when on song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
