nbc Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hugely reluctanlty i'm putting my as new 2012 Supersport up for sale due to a dream home purchase opportunity that will require all available funds. 2012 Supersport 1.6 Sigma Factory build and registered May, 2012. 700m White with blue decals 5 speed but with the close ratio gearbox that non many had fitted. LSD Carbon cycle wings Carbon indicator pods Carbon whiskers 12v socket Half doors Armorfend protection Never used in the wet All standard spec thereafter. Run-in for 600m with no revs above 4000, then just had service carried out at CC. It's been polsihed and admired much more than driven and it's condition is what you would expect it to be if you were collecting the car new from the showroom. My father, my two sons and I will be crying on it's departure. £23500 ono Neil Edited by - nbc on 9 Jan 2013 12:24:55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbc Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 I've been offered £22500 which I haven't accepted as yet but will if no further interest is shown soon. Last chance to grab an as new Supersport and miss the waiting list. Many thanks Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 ☹️ Sounds like a great opportunity for someone. Only other option would be to list it on Pistonheads to see if you get any immediate interest? It must be a VERY nice house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Never used in the wet ...... that would explain the ultra low mileage in 2012 !!! Sorry to hear is is being sold already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StEVEN Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Sorry to read that you're selling Neil I've had mine for 9 months and done 3000miles Huge fun and quick I too have the close ratio gearbox.... The price you have it up for seems too cheap though Good luck Edited by - StEVEN on 7 Jan 2013 21:29:12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbc Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's heart wenching to have to sell but this is a house we've admired from a distance for some time, one that in reality is out of our price range but comes with plans for a 4 bedroom property in the grounds that we've already agreed a price to sell to builder friend of ours which makes the whole deal possible. It hasn't come to market for 40 years and most likely won't do again if we get our hands on it. The car money will go towards the chancellor's cut, which makes it even more painful. I just hope the Supersport doesn't sell and then the deal falls through, that would be Great, great car, i'll miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oily Mick Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Sorry to hear you're having to sell; sounds like a lovely car. Do pawnbrokers accept 7's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul seymour Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just a suggestion could not the builder put some money up towards the deal if its all a bit tight, he will have too at some point plus it this would secure the deal for him. Good luck. Edited by - Paul Seymour on 8 Jan 2013 16:47:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich N Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Wow, you have my sympathy - I just sold my much older Caterham in order to pay the chancellor his cut of my new house. You offered it to Caterham themselves I assume..? They didn't want mine, too meaty for them it seems :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbc Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's gone ☹️ The new owner was very keen and i'm sure will soon be joining the club after the recommendation I gave it. I just hope he manages to adjust the pedal box to allow more legroom as, even with the seat on its furthest setting, he couldn't get his feet onto the pedals! His father -in-law had a test drive much sooner than he was expecting and not just a blat but a 2 hour motorway journey @ +1 degree! Good on him. It's been great fun, a brief but wonderful experience. All the best with your 7's, lucky peeps. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Caterhamian Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Judging by the car being up for sale again on PH, the new owner couldn't fit after all. Link Looks a nice car for someone. Andrew F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
