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! |

NHTSA investigating Lotus Elise for oil leaks
Mon, 25 Jul 2011The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 17 complaints about an errant oil line in the Lotus Elise, and thus, has opened an investigation. The issue concerns the line on the front right cooler, which, having got loose, sprays oil either on the wheel or inside the engine bay.
This investigation pertains to around 4,400 of the little track-day wonders sold in the 2005 and 2006 model years. There have been no injuries, but one car did leave the road and catch on fire. A NHTSA investigation doesn't mean a full recall has been issued, just that your friends in the fed are looking into the matter.
Lotus Evora GX to race in U.S. Grand-Am series
Thu, 26 Jul 2012The Lotus Evora has taken many forms as a race car over the past few years, starting in 2009 with the Type 124 Endurance Racer built for the FIA GT. Since then, Lotus has developed a GT4 Cup version designed for a one-make series, the Evora GTE that currently competes in the GT class of the ALMS and the recently introduced Evora GTC.
Now, Lotus has released the Evora GX, a variation of the GTC tweaked to specifically meet the requirements of Grand-Am's new GX class that will launch at the start of the 2013 race season. While the two cars are very similar, using the same lightweight carbon fiber and plexiglass bodywork, the GX version gets a thicker U.S.-spec roll cage, a revised front splitter and bumper, a standard Grand-Am rear wing, yellow headlights and a new fuel filler system. ABS and traction control have also been removed per Grand-Am regulations.
Pricing for the Evora GX is listed at $335,000 with each one built to order, and one customer has already taken the plunge. McMahon Raceworks has placed an order and should have the car on the starting grid at the first race next year.
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.
