Turtle Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Wanted: An original 1.6 Superlight, or similar. Budget, £15k. Will pay more for a dry sumped example, though I will also consider non dry sumped cars. Contact either via BlatChat, or email: brianmarshall@blueyonder.co.uk -Brian.

frankyknuckles Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Brian, are you keeping the S2000 ? www.R300.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Sold the S2000 last September. It was too much for my knee. Now driving a more knee friendly day to day car (a classic Honda), and looking to get a nice Caterham to drive on road/track and tweak. A Superlight like K16TOY (For sale at Caterham Midlands...) would be ideal, if it wasn't for Caterhams markup. -Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 K16TOY looks to be sold... and given the attitude of the salesman I spoke to I'd really rather buy private anyway. Bafty - some Superlight's didn't even have the Apollo tank, let alone dry sump. Most have the Apollo though with some being dry sumped. To update things, I've had one responce with a nice spec car, but on a pre-96 spec chassis. I'd prefer a 96 or later chassis for the handbrake location. But I am happy to consider any car that's be through a bout of upgradeitis to get to the spec -Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 It's looking like I've found the car for me. I'll leave the thread open until everthing's finalised. Thanks to everyone who replied. There are some cracking cars out there -Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Piper Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Pre '96 car????I wasn't aware ANY Superlights were (a) pre 96 and (b) under dash handbrake. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 All Superlights used the new 96 on chassis. I mentioned it, as I was sent details of a very nice sounding earlier car, that was 'Superlight' like in specifcation. -Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
