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 Evora S IPS automatic transmission option arrives in October [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jul 2012The Lotus Evora S IPS that the company showed drifting all around its test track earlier this year will be available in October, says Car and Driver. The kinder, gentler Lotus is fitted with the six-speed Intelligent Precision Shift transmission, an Aisin unit swiped from the Toyota Camry and retuned with Lotus electronics and actuators.
There are two 'regular' modes and two 'sport' modes on the IPS gearbox. The former include a traditional hands-off automatic and an auto mode with shifts handled by wheel-mounted paddles. The latter are a sport automatic setting that sharpens the car's responses and a manual sport mode for total driver control. The Evora S IPS hits showrooms in October. For now, you can take a look at Lotus' test driver giving it the beans in the video below.
Race Recap: 2013 Indian Grand Prix mostly calm with chances of Championships
Mon, 28 Oct 2013The smog around the Buddh International Circuit got so bad over the weekend that the FIA had to change the practice sessions. Then the soft tires that Pirelli brought to be the options were found to degrade so quickly that teams had to change their qualifying and race strategies. The only man it didn't seem to affect was - guess who? - Sebastian Vettel, who put his Infiniti Red Bull Racing on pole position.
Behind him came Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas, Mark Webber in the second Infiniti Red Bull and on medium tires, Felipe Massa in the first Ferrari, Kimi Räikkönen in the first Lotus, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and the McLaren duo of Sergio Perez and Jenson Button. The tire strategizing didn't work out for Romain Grosjean in the second Lotus, who didn't get out of Q1 after only running the medium compound tire and lined up 17th.
The Indian Grand Prix has been held twice and Vettel has led every single lap of both races. If nothing else, we knew there would be at least one new thing about this Indian Grand Prix: there'd be a lap not led by Vettel since he qualified on softs and would have to pit before Webber and Alonso who were both on mediums.
Lotus recalls 2008-2011 Elise, Exige and 2011 Evora over fire fear
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Lotus is recalling 860 vehicles after discovering that the oil cooler hose could detach from its fitting. Should the hose separate, it could spray oil on one of the lightweight car's tires, giving new meaning to the phrase "sudden loss of grip." The other case is, believe or not, more dire, as the spraying oil could hit the engine and ignite. Of course, neither situation is desirable, hence the recall.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles (780 of the 860) are the 2008 to 2011 Elise and Exige, built between November 2007 and July 2011. Another 80 Evora S coupes from 2011, manufactured between September 2010 and September 2011, are also included in the recall.
All repairs will, naturally, be completed free of charge. In the Elise/Exige's case, that means replacing the hose fittings, while the affected Evoras will get a new hose assembly.
