I think they're going to be very plentiful between now and the new racing season as Caterham have just announced an upgrade package that allows the racers to tradein their K-series R400 engines for the 2.0l Duratec R400 engine kit

That's not a bad price for all that

 

Keep off the straight and narrow 😬

It sounds a bit expensive if you consider this offer from CC back end of last year, depends on how much you think buying from CC is worth compared to buying privately, but I know which one I would go for

Yeah, Steve knew about that offer when he worked out the price. Obviously he is open to sensible offers and he is including a full exhaust system ( I think the exhaust is quite new, poss even a Raceco - as I know he was considering just doing trackdays) and the cooling system (although I think he's over anticipated the number of new bits he needs...).

[Paul Bowden]

I was not trying to slag off anyones sale, with a full exhaust, that is worth another £1000?. I do not have such an engine, if only, trying to save my pennies for next year. I only have 1.6k SS on single plenium. Seen any championship results for SELOC yet Mr Fart? 😬 😬
