2011 Caterham Roadsport Sv 170 on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Tennessee, United States
|
Hi, I am offering for sale my personal Caterham car. This was built
in 2011. It is a Roadsport 170, so it used a stock Duratec 2L Ford
engine which puts out about 170-175 hp. The body style is the slightly
larger SV style, which is the preferred size for anyone larger (as in
taller and/or wider). The SV includes a larger pedal box.
The build of the car is documented here- http://www.britishspeed.com/gallery3...uild-SV-S3-170 This car is not for sale in California as I can't guarantee a registration there. There was a small mishap with this car where it was run into while stopped and the rear end of the car was rebuilt. While we had it in the race shop, everything was gone over and in fact, many things were improved from the factory build. The driveshaft was trued and balanced. They added new adjustments to the rear differential for better alignment. Brakes were gone over and improved. The car drives very well. The engine is very strong. Original cost to me to build this car was north if $55,000. It has a little over 1500 miles on it and the engine is VERY strong. There is some minor body damage on the very rear and very front from my being really stupid with a trailer. Otherwise it is perfect. Full weather gear. Leather seats. No heater (but one could be added). 5 speed gearbox. Added rear brake light to rollbar. Custom brackets for rear lights and custom license plate bracket. Factory options- SV size LSD differential Leather Seats 4 point track harnesses Black package Black Aero gas filler Upgraded track rollbar Starter button Carbon Fiber Dash Full paint with custom nose band and stripe (Almost a $4000 option) Extra options (I added) Wide view mirror Tunnel storage bag Toneau cover Custom rear light brackets Custom rear license plate frame with Carbon Fiber frame Added 3rd brake light to roll bar. Professionally done! Powder coated aluminum intake manifold 3m Film on nose CF rock guards on rear wings (you need these!) CF door sill covers I can help arrange shipping. To buy this same car new now, would be over $60K. We built this as the dealer for Caterham in California and the build was done expertly. There are only a couple minor blemishes that I chose to ignore, a small bit of body damage as shown in the picture of the rear of the car and a bit on the front. Easily fixed and the reason the car is heavily discounted. If you have no experienced what it is like to drive a Caterham, please do so. Drive one! It is amazing and therapeutic. Nothing like driving one of these on a country road. Please no low ball offers. This is a great deal at this price. There are new price lists of Caterhams that were given to the dealers and these relatively new cars in great shape are going to the way to go. Any price lower than what I am asking, I will just hang on to the car. The reason for selling is that I am negotiating to purchase another car and I need the garage space and wallet space. Ignore the listed VIN. Ebay requires a VIN of some sort so I had to put in my minivan. :) This Caterham is not registered yet. It can be easily registered in most states (other than California). I can supply original Manufacturer Certificate of Origin (MSO) and receipts for car, engine, and gearbox. Thanks! |

Lotus settles with ex-CEO Dany Bahar, avoids London High Court
Sun, 25 May 2014Five years after it began, it appears the Dany Bahar tenure at Lotus is finally over. After former Lotus owner Proton brought in the ex-Ferrari and Red Bull marketing savant to run the company in 2009, everything had gone pear-shaped by 2012: Proton had been sold to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom, who suspended Bahar and then fired him for what it said were expense-account transgressions (although Bob Lutz reportedly said something different).
The separation led to the expected suit and countersuit, Lotus going after Bahar to get its money back, Bahar filing a $10.6-million suit againt Lotus for wrongful termination and potential bonus money. The case was set to go to trial next month but both parties have settled, the terms undisclosed, a DRB-Hicom statement saying only that "the parties involved in the legal suit have signed a Settlement Agreement and Release... and have agreed to withdraw their claims against each other."
Now that that bit of housecleaning is all cleared up, can new CEO Jean-Marc Gales please get our Esprit?
Lotus getting into the motorcycle business
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Lotus founder Colin Chapman is famously quoted as saying something to the effect of "Simplify, then add lightness." We're a bit amazed that it took this long, but someone appears to be taking that message to heart at the British marque, losing a couple of wheels, a clutter of bodywork and a whole mess of weight. No, Lotus isn't planning another spindly Seven-style trackday racer, it's getting into motorcycles.
Well, sort of. As an automaker, Lotus apparently isn't directly behind this two-wheeled effort, but it does appear to have officially lent its brand and logo to a new company, Lotus Motorcycles, which counts former Volkswagen Group designer Daniel Simon, Germany's Holzer Group and auto racing team Kodewa among its partners. The latter builds and races Lotus' T128 Le Mans Prototype in the World Endurance Championship series.
The new company is touting an as-yet unseen motorcycle, a racing-inspired "hyper bike" called C-01, releasing only the image above - a carbon fiber fuel tank trimmed in Lotus' trademark black and gold livery. Details are tough to come by, but the project is said to include a powertrain good for around 200 horsepower and construction involving titanium, carbon fiber and aerospace-grade steel.
Lotus recalling certain 2011 Evora S models for possible oil leak, fire
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Last year about 80 examples of the 2011 Lotus Evora S were recalled over an issue with the oil feed pipe. The same number of 2011 Evora S', but with different manufacture dates, are back in the recall box again for a very similar issue; this time it's the engine oil cooler hose that could rupture and spray oil either onto the rear wheels or a hot engine part. Neither of those cases is good, and the latter could potentially lead to a fire.
Lotus is working on a solution, so a recall date hasn't been announced. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
