Next car looks likely to be a Clio Trophy, so this needs to be sold:

1700cc tuned crossflow ~ 135bhp.
A very strong and capable engine, the key benefit to having a crossflow is the fabulous sound it makes. It pops and bangs on the over-run, the carbs "spit" at you, and the noise under acceleration will make you grin like an idiot. You will end up living in tunnels!
De-Dion axle with 5 speed gearbox.
8% quick rack fitted by Caterham Cars.
Red with cycle wings and JPE grille.
13" black minators with new 185/60 Yokohama AO48Rs
The Yokohama tyres give amazing grip in the dry, and are very good in the wet
Mintex 1144 pads on front, standard rears (replaced April 2006) This gives a much more balanced brake feel than the standard brake pads.
Long cockpit
Adjustable pre S type leather seats with Caterham 4 point harnesses.
The harnesses have been replaced with the better specification aero buckle type.
Padded tunnel top and 2 map pockets.
Twin 40 DCOE Weber carbs & K+N filters. Sounds glorious!
4:1 side exit competition exhaust
Burton unleaded conversion.
Brand new heated windscreen with black surround.
Heater
Full weather equipment, doors and tonneau
5.75 inch SVC headlights with upgraded H4 bulbs - lights up the road on full beam!
Vecta immobiliser
Outdoor car cover - lightweight but waterproof, extremely useful and easy to put on.
New alternator.

Extensive service history and original build file.
12k service by James Whiting in October 2005, and oil service May 2006

MOT 25th August 2007.
TAX 31 August 2006 (currently on SORN).

An amazing car, goes like a vicar on viagra, truly astonishing grip and looks fantastic, it will be sorely missed. This car is depreciation-proof (you would be able to sell for the same in 3 years time) and insurance costs roughly £250 p.a.

HPI clear, and in really good condition. To be a perfectionist, I would say if you intend to take it on track days you would need a new silencer (101db at the moment!) and an FIA rollbar/cage. Secondly, there are some stone chip marks and "crazing" on the wings, but these are faint and do not detract from the car overall. Finally the boot cover has a popper missing on the right hand side, I have not has the chance to re do it.
The car has not been raced or tracked.
This is a genuine car, maintained to a very high standard and in beautiful condition. If you would like to view please contact me on 07834 492730.

£8750 - a bargain at this price.
