kristianbs Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi all,I'm new to the club and am looking to purchase my first Caterham. I have my heart set on an R400 S3 body (ideally lowered floors, 6 spd, and Roller Barrel 220hp upgrade, but appreciate that's a little specific so willing to compromise/add later!). I'm in no particular rush and am willing to wait until Feb/March to find the right car.Please let me know if you have any leads or are thinking of selling. Looking forward to the meets and track days ... once i have a car to arrive in that is!ThanksKristian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 What budget do you have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristianbs Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi, well originally my limit would be 30k, but would be willing to stretch a little further If the perfect one came along. Does that sound reasonable? Unfortunately I just missed out on a 2008 model with above spec this weekend that sold for just under 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 You could get a CSR 200 for that money or less, same dimensions as rhe SV, but with better suspension and bigger, torquier engine, or even the 260bhp engined CSR? I know of a 2009 CSR 200 with low miles that has just sold for that sort of money. Bigger than a S3 admittedly, but with useful room and a bigger fuel tank.BTW, welcome to the club and potential Seven ownership, prepare for the rest of your life to be changed - in a good way of course.

kristianbs Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi Paul, thanks for the comment. Yes the CSR is certainly an option, but they are hard to come by it seems. I've had a great response so far from members and am planning on viewing a couple this weekend ... so hopefully I'll be an owner rather than dreamer in the not to distant future!

Nick T Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Kristian,There will always be debate within the 7 club over models/spec/colour of cars, thats half the fun!However, having recently got a S3 R400 with roller barrels, they are bonkers fun and I promise you you will not regret it.CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
