The model is intended that shipping FOB <your dealer> is included. For a roller/kit being drop-shipped somewhere, a delta will be calculated and charged. That is how Beachman Racing will handle delivery. And we're the furthest from Dartford. Cheers, -Bruce

Accommodating height is not the problem in a Caterham. A lowered-floor Caterham with composite seats can fit an amazingly tall driver - north of 6'4". Girth is the issue. And shoe size. Even a slender, tall person will benefit from the bigger pedal box of the SV chassis. Cheers, -Bruce

We offer the Caterham outdoor car cover, which is fitted and absolutely waterproof, yet breathable. This is standard equipment on the track cars we support at race events. Here in the PNW, we get plenty of rain, and you're guaranteed a dry seat in the AM when you show up for the morning session. It comes with a storage bag that will fit in the boot. A far cry from a tarp or an umbrella - and it's priced like a premium car cover. I do not recommend open-trailer towing with *any* cover on the car. You're asking for cosmetic trouble. Cheers, -Bruce

Conceived as a track weapon with a naturally-aspirated 300HP/2.5L under the bonnet, this new Viper Blue CSR is ready to go. The more rigid CSR chassis and independent suspension capably handles the power without drama and is very composed. our 300HP package is a Beachman Racing time-proven configuration, and runs on standard premium fuel. Check it out HERE. Vroom, vroom! -Bruce

Powertrain pricing is FOB to Mountune’s facility. So freight to your door is an additional variable cost. Cheers, -Bruce

Well - the only remaining benign possibility beyond some strange misunderstanding, is that they had already secured an allocation from the factory under the old pricing regime, and are now assigning that allocation to your order. Very possible. Cheers, -Bruce

If you placed a deposit prior to 1/1/26 (and the dealer placed an order with the factory), the structure of your order is under the previous pricing/sales regime, which was *not* inclusive of shipping/duty. Cheers, -Bruce

On that broken dipstick, you might want to at least ask the PO about it. If he didn’t get it out, but autocrossed it a lot afterward, it likely won’t give you a problem. Probably. We’ve pulled oil pans to get these out, for peace of mind. The Raceline sump creates an overlapping edge where the dipstick enters the pan. The tip of the stick lodges against that edge and if the dipstick is forced, will break at the weakest point. Cheers, -Bruce

There are plenty of Caterham Seven owners in the Puget Sound area. Search for "PNW Caterham Club" on FB. They are organizing a tour for the weekend of June 6th, that will loop up into Canada this year. The two cars in the previously posted photo are from Kirkland (Juanita) and Issaquah. Cheers, -Bruce

Yep - fuel pressure sender is at the front of the fuel rail, and there is a fuel pump control module mounted either in the boot somewhere, or under the tunnel cover near the bulkhead. Cheers, -Bruce

For a new Caterham, all dealers now follow the same process, in which 1) rollers/kits are sold at MSRP; 2) pricing is inclusive of duty/tariff/shipping. For (2), the buyer doesn't need to worry about any of it. Of course, given the chaos associated with our personality-driven US tariff policy, there may be an exception if tariffs substantively change in magnitude over the life of the order. We have two pre-owned 420Rs in-stock right now - one a red S3 (2022) and one a black SV (2020). PM for details. Cheers, -Bruce

Yes - there are production variances that have the blades contacting the top of the windscreen frame. Snip (actually, grind) Cheers, -Bruce

On the ECU - it is a Ford EEC-V. Application is 2002-2003 Ford Focus SVT. As Croc said - for the time, it was quite sophisticated (MAF sensor; ECU-controlled fuel pressure). The Raceline sumps for that application are famous for breaking dipsticks right at the upper oil range window (upper hole). The yellow stick should be accurate. Congratulations! Cheers, -Bruce

Basically - loop the cable in front of the heater plenum and behind the battery. It loops back to the valve mechanism. With the battery installed, you won’t even notice it. Cheers, -Bruce

John is correct about utilizing the standard Raceline pan in a Caterham. We routinely remove the bosses on the Raceline pans for install in a Caterham. The earlier Cosworth system utilized a bell-tank rather than an external reservoir. This is the system utilized on the CSR260 and CSR200. To complicate matters even further for the early CSR260/200, there are multiple pan designs. Fortunately, these variations have no impact on the interface to the bell-tank, which is a pair of internal scavenge/supply, double O-ringed tubes between the bell-tank and the rear of the pan. The oil reservoir *is* the bell-housing, and makes sure the concentric slave cylinder never gets too cold :-) Cheers, -Bruce
