mr toad Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 For sale due to upgrade: 1997 Caterham Se7en Superlight - 1.6k (135bhp) - unpainted carbon fibre and aluminium - full standard superlight specification: widetrack suspension lsd 13" minilites with 032R Yokos 6 speed box big brakes plus: - anti-cavitation tank - tillet seats - interchangeable carbon fibre (R500) aeroscreen with central mirror - half doors - full weather kit (roof, doors, heated windscreen) - removable suede Momo steering wheel - red starter button (for posing) - heater (for early morning blats) - Caterham 4 point harness x2 - FIA roll bar - carbon dash - excellent(se7en-related) private plate 9,100 miles I spent 9 months looking for a car before I bought this one; it had a Caterham B service and full spanner check by Milward when I bought it in June 2003 (1,100 miles ago). Since then it has done 3 track evenings at Goodwood, Bedford and Silverstone. Washed & polished after every outing. Shell Optimax always. Always warmed up properly. Totally reliable. This is an absolutely mint car and will pass any inspection. Milward reckon it is the best condition ally-bodied Superlight that they have seen. It is a beautiful car, a good friend, a perfect intro to track days and I will miss it big time. Caterham have a lower spec. one for sale at £18k and mine is nothing like that expensive! Email me if interested. cheers James Edited by - mr toad on 6 Oct 2003 16:24:14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr toad Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 kev will call tonight; I was at debden yesterday so could have delivered it then! it is an absolutely storming track day car; I'm always amazed by how competitive it is and amused by the attitude of people with posh cars; most very friendly, some rather put out by the easy speed of this annoying little thing! maybe I shouldn't get that Beetle after all... cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
