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 F1 Team reveals new E23 Hybrid
Mon, Jan 26 2015Lotus is keen to leave a lackluster 2014 Formula One World Championship campaign behind it and race forward towards a new era, and this is the car with which it hopes to do so. The new E23 Hybrid is the twenty-third chassis to come from the Enstone-based team. As with the new Williams that was the first new chassis revealed for this year, the principal difference you can see is the more conventional nose to replace the twin-tusk setup of the E22, but there's more to it than that. For starters, it's the first new Lotus to pack Mercedes power after the team parted ways with Renault – the manufacturer that used to own the team and which has powered every car the team has built since Benetton signed with the French automaker way back in 1995. It also packs a completely new suspension setup after the original FRIC design in the preceding E22 was banned mid-season, forcing Enstone engineers to go back to the drawing board halfway through the championship. Word has it that, after earlier rumors suggested the team might not even make it back onto the grid, new sponsors will be added before the season gets under way in Melbourne on March 15 with the Australian Grand Prix. To pilot the new car, Lotus has retained the same two drivers as last year in Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado. The team is hoping to perform better this season than it did the last, when it finished the constructors' championship way down in eighth place – the same result it achieved in 2009 under Renault ownership and the worst it had performed since the Toleman days in 1983.
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.
Lotus hands Pastor Maldonado a new Evora S in Monaco
Sat, 31 May 2014Being a Formula One driver has its privileges. First off, you get to drive F1 cars for a living. You get treated like royalty and fly around the world. And if you're lucky, you might get a supercar thrown at you once in a while. It all depends on which team you drive for.
Fernando Alonso, for example, has had countless Ferraris, Maseratis, Abarths and Jeeps thrown his way. Lewis Hamilton was a little disappointed not to get the keys to that rare McLaren F1 LM when he won the championship. But Pastor Maldonado just got his hands on a new Lotus Evora S.
Pastor who now, you ask? Pastor Maldonado. The first Venezuelan driver in F1, Maldonado won the GP2 title in 2010 then made the jump to F1, driving for Williams for the past three seasons, impressively winning the Spanish Grand Prix in 2012. Now he's at Lotus filling Kimi Raikkonen's seat, and took delivery of his white Evora - complete with 3.5-liter supercharged V6 and six-speed sequential gearbox - in Monte Carlo last weekend during the Monaco Grand Prix.
