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.

Lotus to layoff a quarter of its workforce
Thu, 18 Sep 2014Lotus has issued a press release to day, wherein it indicates that a "need to both reshape its organisation and to reduce costs" may result in the loss of "up to 325" jobs. That's a fairly significant number of layoffs for any company, but considering that Lotus currently employs 1,215 people (per the company's bio in the same release), it could mean a full 25-percent of the automaker's workers could soon be sharpening their resumes.
CEO Jean-Marc Gales says in the statement that Lotus has "worked very hard to avoid the need to make this proposal," but admits that it is now "essential" to the future of the company. The chief indicates that post-restructuring, he expects Lotus to be a "leaner" and "more competitive" organization, one which - and we can all see a little silver lining here - is focused on "producing class-leading sports cars and innovative engineering."
The 325-job number appears to be soft at this point, with the statement indicating that some negotiation about which and how many posts will be cut is yet to come. Further, the company may "redeploy" some employees, and may even recruit new blood for "key roles," all with an eye toward running the strongest possible team going forward. Though, we imagine that the recruitment bit won't fly well for those employees getting the sack.
Race Recap: For the 2013 Monaco Grand Prix, NASCAR comes to the principality
Tue, 28 May 2013Lots of contact, debris cautions, trips into the wall, full-course yellows and a red flag - these are the kinds of racing terms you unbox when you want to have a conversation about NASCAR... or the Formula One grand prix of Monaco. In this case we're not talking about the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, we're talking about 78 laps in the South of France that even featured a fallen camera cable just like that stock-car race.
This year, Mercedes-AMG Petronas drivers treated their chassis' like busses instead of F1 cars, Romain Grosjean treated his Lotus like a battering ram, Sergio Perez kept sticking his McLaren's nose in places and eventually got it smacked, and maybe the size of the drivers' mirrors should be changed instead of the tires as there were almost as many firsts as there were crashes. Plenty of F1 fans wish Monaco were removed from the calendar, yet even though it doesn't specialize in traditional thrills, that doesn't mean nothing happens during the parade through - and into - the barriers.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
