For whatever reason, E-Bay wont accept the vehicles correct VIN number. For that reason I had to state the car as pre 1981. To be clear, The Caterham is 1992 and the VIN number is SDKRDK0NSM0216300 1992 Super Sprint deDion with Ford 'Kent' 711M motor built by SPR (premiere engine builder to Caterham at the time). I have the original build sheet for this 1800cc unit which the builder rated at 165bhp. I attach a recent rolling road print-out showing over 155bhp at the wheels which equates to about 170bhp at the flywheel. Fuelled by a pair of 45dcoe Webers, this Caterham is immensely fast with lots of torque and terrific flexibility for everyday use. The Caterham has never been tracked, used sparingly and very well cared for. I have the original Caterham build specification which included almost all of their options: 1800 SPR Super Sprint motor with well baffled shallow sump, electronic ignition and 4 into 1 titanium exhaust together with aftermarket 'Raceco' muffler (original muffler included). 5-speed close ratio gearbox with aluminum housing and aluminum bellhousing. DeDion rear end with 3.92 limited slip diff, and adjustable sway bar Toyo 205/45ZR16 tires (almost new), on exclusive Caterham HPC wheels. Stainless steel braided brake hosed. Factory applied paint in high gloss black. Leather adjustable seats with Caterham 4-point harnesses. Factory wind deflectors. Spa convex mirrors from 'Pegasus' and Panoramic mirror from 'Mirrors for sevens'. Aftermarket, powerful heater (mountain driving), original heater included. Caterham supplied 'High Visibility' weather equipment (never used). Split tonneau cover. Heated windscreen. This Caterham looks as spectacular as it goes, absolutely no disappointments. No issues, well sorted and drive it home anywhere. Almost certainly the best of its type/year presently offered. I am happy to physically assist any buyer with arranging transport anywhere in the world. No Reserve auction, good luck.

Question of the Day: What's the greatest British car ever?
Fri, Jul 15 2016The British automotive industry has produced everything from high-production econo-commuters to staggeringly luxurious oligarch-wagons, along the way winning plenty of races and building plenty of beautiful machines. The original Mini led directly to the past half-century of transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive cars built everywhere, the MGB put the sporty little convertible into everyone's reach, and the Morris Oxford became the most beloved motor vehicle in India. So many to choose from, but we want you to pick one. What will it be? Related Video:
Lotus Evija whirs onto Quail lawn to tempt 130 prospective customers
Sun, Aug 18 2019At last, we've met the Lotus Evija in its compact, electric-charged glory. The carbon-fiber-bodied electric supercar looks like liquid metal poured over some skeletal biologic form. The coupe represents the first all-new Lotus since the ten-year-old Evora went on sale, the first Lotus developed wholly under Geely ownership, the first in-house all-electric vehicle from Hethel, the first Lotus with a one-piece carbon fiber monocoque tub, and the first one Hethel HQ will send to the Nurburgring to break a lap record. Lotus announced that lap record tilt saying it should be "comfortably quicker" than the all-electric NIO EP9 road-legal EV that ran a 6:45. That has since been broken by the 6:05 figure Volkswagen achieved with its ID.R, a purpose-built electric race car. The 'Ring doesn't yet divide EV times into classes, so we'd still like to see Lotus go for outright honors. That is indeed unfair, but the Evija has the numbers to at least make a go of it. The four electric motors in the ID.R produce a combined 680 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque to move a car weighing 2,500 pounds. The Evija's 50 percent heavier at 3,700 pounds, but has almost triple the horses and more than double the torque, its two motors making a combined 2,000 horsepower and 1,254 pound-feet of torque. It does have active aerodynamics, including a moving rear wing, but it's still short a bunch of race aero, a giant front splitter, and a DRS button. No matter how the German caper turns out, we expect Lotus will be able to find homes for all the Evijas it offers for sale. Only 130 will be made, each one starting at around $2.1 million.
The Stig breaks into Lotus F1 HQ
Mon, 16 Jun 2014As Top Gear's mysterious test driver, The Stig has driven just about everything on wheels - and more than a few things without. But an F1 car? That still remains a rarity, even on Top Gear.
That all changes in this latest promo clip, though. The video shows what happened when his Royal Stigness arrived at the headquarters of the Lotus F1 team in Enstone, England, where he somehow managed to scan his way in past security and got his hands on a Lotus-Renault E21, the V8-powered single-seater that Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean drove in the 2013 Formula One World Championship - and which the Stig will apparently be driving on stage during the upcoming Top Gear Festival in Durban. If you're not heading to South Africa this month, though (or even if you are), you can check out the footage in the video below.
