Area Representative Nick Chan Posted July 22, 2004 Area Representative Share Posted July 22, 2004 Having a little garage clearout and came across this new & boxed item!! It was an optional extra sold by Caterham for the Supersprint cars in the 80/90's. Not sure if its still current now but its brand new with the original fittings. It has the model code DAB100 on the box. Not sure how much its worth but how about £40 as they were nearly £70 in 1988 I can send pics of a dusty box if you are interested 😬 and the shiny new ignition pack Cheers Nick Yellow HPC - A 2.0 VX - 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Nick If this is the complete kit to convert a Lucas distributor to electronic ignition can I have first dibs please? Thanks Tony Edited to say I am out of the office all day tomorrow… Edited by - Tony L on 22 Jul 2004 23:56:38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Chan Posted July 22, 2004 Author Area Representative Share Posted July 22, 2004 Hi Tony, Looking at the instructions It is the kit to convert the typical contact breaker distributor system to a contactless one. Its the silver finned box that is mounted on the bulkhead plus wiring harness and fittings. In the fitting kit is the capteur (sensor) that fits in the distributor. The rotor flash shield (chopper) isn't with the kit but I assume that can be obtained from Lucas. Cheers Nick Yellow HPC - A 2.0 VX - 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 sorry to possibly pour cold water on this but I think that system is obsolete now, so if any bits missing could be buggered - im sure ive been told Lucas dont have any parts for this now. I could be wrong..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Nick Chan Posted July 23, 2004 Author Area Representative Share Posted July 23, 2004 Richard Otherwise I was going to suggest it as a spare for any Xflow owners out there already with the system.

Westfield Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Thanks Nick I was looking for a complete system… Looks like this will make a good spare for anyone with this system and a good chopper (ohhh er!!!) Back to the top then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Worth trying on a Lotus site too as these were used on the Esprits right up to the early Series 3 ('82->) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Chan Posted July 25, 2004 Author Area Representative Share Posted July 25, 2004 Tony - no problem at all Chris - any ideas of websites to try? Anyone else out there with a XF supersprint want a replaement or spare for the future? Cheers Nick Yellow HPC - A 2.0 VX - 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
