Saanichton, British Columbia, Canada

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 hits the track with new Elise S Cup R
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you want to take a Lotus to the track but the Exige V6 Cup is a bit too much to handle, the boys from Hethel have a new offering that may be of interest.
The new Elise S Cup R features all the track-tuned bells and whistles of its six-cylinder brethren, including a competition-spec aero kit, adjustable suspension, Yokohama racing slicks on 17-inch forged alloys, tow hooks, remapped ECU, cross-drilled and ventilated disc brakes and an interior with a HANS-compatible bucket seat, six-point racing harness and quick-release steering wheel. But instead of a heavier and more powerful V6, the Elise S Cup R "adds lightness" with the same 1.8-liter supercharged inline-four with 217 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque as the road-going Elise S. Yet with all that track-tuned gear, it's a good four seconds per three-mile lap faster than the showroom stock version in the automaker's testing.
Interested parties can pick one up in the UK for £39,125 (before taxes, equivalent to about $63k) and either lap it to their hearts' content at private track days or enter it in one of the dozen Lotus Cup series operating around the world. Lotus only released this one photo (click above to enlarge), but you can check out the full specs in the press release below.
Lotus reveals new LMP1 at Le Mans
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Lotus is at Le Mans this week where it has unveiled its new LMP1. Only it's not racing at Le Mans. And it's not really a Lotus, either.
The prototype belongs to an independent German team that ran a Lotus chassis in the LMP2 category last year, but was granted license by the FIA and ACO to step up to the top-tier LMP1 category to dice it with the front-running hybrids from Audi, Porsche and Toyota this year. Unfortunately, the team - which licenses the Lotus name from the automaker, much as the F1 team does - faced some setbacks. Not the least of those delays resulted from a mid-stream switch in engine suppliers from the Audi-sourced, naturally aspirated V8 it was originally set to use to a new turbocharged V6 from Advanced Engine Research.
As a result it wasn't ready for the Silverstone race that kicked off this season's World Endurance Championship in April. Nor was it ready for the second round at Spa in May or not for the headline event this weekend at Le Mans, but it aims to be on the track at the next round in Austin.
Lotus Exige S tears the roof off
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Some things just don't make sense. But then we're not sure they really have to. Imagine Porsche took the Cayman, which is essentially the coupe version of the Boxster, and turned it into a convertible. Wouldn't make much sense, would it? Well that's essentially what Lotus did with the creation of the Exige S Roadster.
The Exige, you see, was already the fixed-roof version of the Elise. So what was the point in turning it back into a roadster? That's what our friends at XCar tried to ascertain in the video below. We could tell you what conclusion they arrived at, but that would spoil all the fun. So we'll just let you enjoy the seven-minute clip and see for yourself. Just remember: it doesn't have to make sense. It just has to be a Lotus.
