Championship and class-winning car for sale: £13,750

After ten years of great competition I have decided to retire from the Lotus Seven Club Speed Championship and my car is now for sale.  

Specification:  

2001 Caterham Roadsport A 1600 (basically Superlight 1600 spec with the race chassis and no carbon fibre).  

  • Series 3 chassis 
  • DVA modified 1.6 Rover K series engine (153.9bhp) – see below 
  • McLaren orange with black cycle wings 
  • Dry-sumped 
  • Forged pistons 
  • 6-speed gearbox 
  • Limited-slip diff 
  • Wide track suspension 
  • Minilite 13” wheels 
  • De Dion rear suspension 
  • Standard 4-1 Caterham exhaust 
  • Full roll cage (newer type with curved outer bars) 
  • Side impact bar 
  • Lowered driver’s floor 
  • Tillett seats  
  • Perspex aeroscreen  
  • Modified for HANS device (5’ 9” driver) 
  • Plumbed-in fire extinguisher 
  • Quick-release Momo 260mm steering wheel 
  • Soft Bits for Sevens fitted tonneau  

In 2011 the engine was modified by Dave Andrews (DVA Power) who fitted: 

  • Piper 1320 cams 
  • Ported cylinder head 
  • Modified plenum 
  • New uprated head gasket, bolts, gaskets and oil seals 
  • Verniers 
  • Forged pistons  

Last season it was fitted with a new radiator and new tyres (Yokohama A539).  The tyres were shaved by Midland Tyre Shaving, Soham, and have only done one event and no road miles.   It has new front brake discs and pads and is ready for the 2017 season. 

It’s not a polisher’s car, but its hillclimb and sprint record shows what it’s capable of.  Rated at 153.9bhp on Northampton Motorsport’s rolling road it’s perfect for Class 2 but could also be used in Class 3 with wheels and tyres changed.  It would make more power with an uprated exhaust. 

In its current spec the car has had much success, being driven by both my son, Matthew, and me:  

2013:   Class 2 win (Matthew) and second place (me).  Matthew won the overall championship, winning all 7 of the events he’d entered.  

2014:  Class 2 win (me).    

2015:  Class 2 win (me)  

2016:  Class 2 third (me)   

Numerous track records are held, as seen in the Competitors Area of the website. 

Price: £13,750
