phil.s Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Simon Seem to remember a similar one for sale in the summer whih struggled to sell for less. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drB Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 'scuse my ignorance, but if it's a 2002 K series what were the advantages in fitting a live axle? (as dd would be standard) is it so that you can fit the close ratio 5 speed box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Birtwisle Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Phil.S, I think this car was for sale in the summer but it was in Ireland at the time. Now it is on in the mainland UK, and having seen the car I can say it is well worth £14 grand if not more. It is in fantastic condition.

simonguster Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 Phil, You clever boy. My word - what a very keen sense of observation you have. This may well be that very same car you saw advertised last summer. It was built by a serial Caterham owner who happens to be a main Rover dealer in Northern Ireland. This is the fourth Caterham he has built and his attention to detail is fantastic. I've spent over £1,500 on bolt on goodies since I bought it with the work and set up having been carried out by Taylors Foundry Motorsport (flat floored, corner weighted etc). I took the risk of flying to Northern Ireland to find what sounded like a great car at a price that was below mainland open market value. I suppose others would not. Two buyers seriously interested so far. Thanks for the response. Alex - is that a shandy or larger tops then? Simon PS Adbett - I didn't build it but live axles are more fun.......

Mark Piper Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Ah...I thought it was Timbo's car when I saw the ad on Findit recently - I've seen pictures of it - a very nice car too. Did you get the bhp upgrade kit with it too Simon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasi Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 🤔 😬 I alsow want to now about the upgrade kit Simon 🤔 Kasi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonguster Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 I have not fitted the upgrade kit. Since owning the car I have had an anti cavitation tank fitted, swapped the roll bar for an FIA bar and had the suspension set up sorted and a battery isolator. The bhp upgrade kit would be the next natural step. I wonder if Timbo still has a picture of the car he could post here for me as i've been asked to send copies but don't have the facilities to do so. Are you out there Tim?

simonguster Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 Big price reduction. Somethings come up. £12,695 This IS a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogvet Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Sadly that is probably about the right price, so the car has lost lot from new on road price, so much for little depeciation 7k in 18 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
