Just a followup....State of AZ really doesn't have one ounce of common sense. This became a huge issue and the only way they would correct the title was to issue a "bonded title". Other than that they wanted to revoke the title and plates I had. Final result: had to send the car back to the seller and he gave me a full refund. What a shame! So now I'm looking for another Caterham again....

Thanks CROC....I appreciate your help in decoding the VIN # on my car. The number I gave here with the "A" in the 4th position came off the State Of Arizona Title. I have quite a pile of records on the car dating back to when it was manufactured, delivered to the new owner and first put on the road. I noted that in 2005 the R became an A on the MOT Certificate. A later MOT certificate points out this discrepancy, but the subsequent MOT's continue to use A in the forth position. I don't have a copy of the importation documents, but the Ohio title also had A in the 4th position. Checking the VIN plate on the car it's definitely R....and the car is RHD. So, off I go the the DMV to try to explain this little fiasco and get a new title as well as updated insurance documents.

I recently purchased a 1992 Caterham HPC. Trying to find a little more about the car. Recently saw a Caterham VIN decoded on "Bring a Trailer" and it fascinated me. My VIN is: SDKADKCVXN0236300. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone for the help....I've managed to change the oil and used a Fram PH8170 filter and Mobil One 0-40. Oil pressure seems just fine. Napa dealer also sold me a Napa Gold #7035 which is their interchange for a WIX WL 7064. Life is good!

I recently purchased a 1992 Caterham HPC with the 2.0 Vauxhall twin cam engine. Can anyone help with which oil filter this engine uses and where it can be obtained in the US. Also, what weight oil should I be using and is a synthetic good? I live in Arizona...cool in winter, very hot in summer. Thanks, Wayne
