Holy cow... 'drifted' off topic is an understatement! Back to the topic of the 2003 caterham, it's true that through Tony in NY I had a buyer in about 30mins flat, with an offer that sealed the deal on the car. Sorry to Rikker that he missed out, as we were chatting back and forth for at least 10-days but there was no underhand selling going on here... I was honest and upfront with what I wanted to get out of the car but no offer ever came in at that magic number. In fact, I was told a couple of times that it was overpriced and that he would not pay that at all! Interestingly, it seems that I am now selling the car for a second time as I was approached by someone in NY looking to buy my car from the dealer that bought it from me so I can only believe that even after sale and shipping there was still good value in the vehicle. I've enjoyed the postings and the banter from the folks on this site though and I only wish that I had been a regular during my ownership of the car... it gets lonely down here in South FL!

Sold! Thanks for playing guys. My Caterham is off to a new home in the Auburn NY and I wish the new owner all the best and a lot of fun! Wow, now I am starting to feel a little sentimental! Couple if years and I will be on the hunt for a CSR 260!

Not sure if I understand the question Terry? Can you re-post? My Caterham has a 2002 chassis # but was delivered, built and registered in 2003. Is that what you were looking for?

Hi Michael, No it doesn't run particularly rich. With the Pectel software you can change the mapping on the fly if you want to but I have not played with it that much. re. chassis year, yes, mine was ordered in 2002 I guess but not delivered, built or registered until 2003. I am not sure that Carteham made any significant updates between those two model years!

Just back in the country and spent the day detailing the car yesterday. Took so more "detailed" pictures of the detail below... http://extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/IMG_0237.jpg http://extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/IMG_0239.jpg http://extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/IMG_0240.jpg http://extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/IMG_0241.jpg

Some folks have been asking for some more pics so... here they are! http://extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/Air-Trumpets.jpg http://extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/TWM-Injection.jpg http://extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/Back-Right.jpg http://extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/Front-Right-Wheel.jpg

In discussion with a club member, it was pointed out to me that the chassis is actually a 2002 rather than a 2003 as stated in my initial post. I had always held it as a 2003 as the original invoice, as well as the Manufacturers Statement of Origin, has a 2003 date on it! Didn't want anyone to think that I am trying to pull the wool over their eyes! Experienced Cat owners, I would be appreciative of a few observations/comments about the car relative to the initial asking price, either here on the forum or to my email mike at actionquest dot com. I figured that $33,000 was a reasonable place to start but would welcome comments from others with more experience than I.

I purchased my Caterham in 2005 from the original builder and she now has 6,110 miles on her. The color is BMW grey with a silver nose ring and bonnet strip. There are a couple of paint chips here and there yet, for the most part, the car is in excellent condition and is currently located in Sarasota, Florida. Originally built in 2003, this Caterham was pretty well loaded with many of the options available at the time. Over the years I have added a few things too but have all of the original gear that could be put back on the car if desired. Motor: 202 bhp Seven America Zetec Supersport package with TWM one-piece throttle body fuel injection manifold, Pectel fully PC programmable direct fire ignition/F.I. control unit and high performance street cams. This car has a standard 5-speed gearbox The car’s current specs are as follows: Widetrack front Suspension | Limited slip differential | Watts link rear suspension | Heater | Leather Seats | Leather Transmission Tunnel Cover | Carbon Dash | Carbon rear wing protectors | Carbon sill protectors | Custom side-out exhaust | Momo Steering wheel and quick release column | Willians 4-point harness (Drivers Side) | Cloth Dust Cover | Side Screens | Side Skirts | Roof etc. | Pectel PC software and patch cable to access ECU | Chrome gas cap. Other Items I have which are not currently fitted to the car: Original Caterham rear-out exhaust | FIA roll Bar with installation kit| Blank Front Grill | Tonneau Cover with installation kit | Original Moto-Lita Steering Wheel and column | A few specific tools, installation and build manuals plus all documentation. Asking: $33,000 Email me at mike at actionquest dot com for more details and/or photos http://www.extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/Front-Left.jpg http://www.extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/Front.jpg http://www.extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/Engine-Bay.jpg http://www.extras.actionquest.com/caterham_listing_pics/Interior.jpg
