Red SLR Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 R300 that was built in October 2002 and registered in November 2002. The car was built by me and was professionally prepared by Caterham after to tidy it up and SVA it. 550 dry miles, completely immaculate and one of the neatest engine installs I have ever seen on a Caterham. It is in Azure blue with carbon noseband. The following extras are included: Windscreen and weather kit Leather Seats Full Carbon pack (F+R wings, Nose, indicator pods, dash, knee guards and sills) LSD FIA Roll bar Battery Master Switch Black Pack All the usual R300 refinements such as X power engine running R500 roller barrels and MBE ecu, 6 speed box, super light suspension, 4 point harness and big brakes. Just had its 500 mile service at John Noble Motorsport and has been stored in a heated garage over the winter. Price on application. You can e-mail me at simon.scott@three.co.uk or phone me on 0161 209 2082 Thanks Simon.

TonyR Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Simon, Whats the asking price? Caterham Midlands have two for sale. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red SLR Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Very similar to their price for the Azure blue one they have - as this is almost the same spec as mine. See X777CAT here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren f Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Bloody hell Simon, still got it 🤔- any interest at all? For all the superb press the R300 got, there doesn't seem much interest for nice used ones - Caterham seem to still have theirs. Best of luck in finding a buyer for yours. darren f The Building of R300SEV is Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red SLR Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 I have had maybe a dozen enquiries about it. But as yet no one seems to be that interested. If its not sold by then end of April then I will be keeping it all summer as it might take me a couple of months to find a replacement and by that time most of the summer will have past.

Mike C. Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Unfortunately, in reality, it is very, very difficult to sell any 'expensive' car (Caterham or otherwise) privately for cash. Most people go to a recognised dealer for convenience. They normally have a part-exchange, need finance and/or want the the consumer protection a dealer theoretically has to honour. Those with cash would either prefer to buy new to their own specific specification, or expect to be acquiring a significant bargain. You (or anyone in your position) would therefore seem to have five choices: 1. Trade it in for cash (and bite the painful depreciation bullet) 2. Let a recognised dealer sell it on sor (careful who you use!) 3. Advertise it more widely, but set the price at a point where private buyers can't resist it. 4. Prepare to accept a part exchange(this way you could still own a 7) 5. Keep it and enjoy it Best of luck. Mad Manx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Saunders Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Simon, Caterham midlands have sold 2 of my dads caterhams on a S.O.R basis and given a good return. I think you should go for number 5 of Mikes choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Slacke Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Simon, have you also advertised on Piston Heads? I had a lot of enquiries from there and I sold my R300 in February! R300J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
