I was not able to upload all of the photos due to file size limitations, you can view all of the photos at our eBay listing: https://ebay.us/m/4Ss4UG

 

This is a really interesting find with it being an original Caterham Scholarship Race car for their race series as can be seen from the attached photo from Caterham corporate. The vehicle comes with a massive folder of service records along with the original post build inspection report from the Caterham factory. As can be seen in the photos there is a spreadsheet of all services done from new to 2017 from one of the previous owners. There is also a lot more service records after 2017 that are included in the service binder.

 

As you can see from the video, the Caterham sounds great and pulls really hard through all gears. The upgraded lightweight flywheel makes a huge difference on quick shifts in my opinion. It is a very stable car cruising at 90MPH with the top off.

 

The Caterham also comes with the full roof for wet weather driving, I just forgot to take a photo of it, it is in good condition. Notes from the previous owner about the car: - Owned for the last 6 years

- 120 horsepower engine

- Big valve ported head

- Kent cam

- Skeleton steel lightweight flywheel

- Engine set up on dyno machine

- removable steering wheel

- leather seats

- Flush gasoline filler cap

- Track day roll bar

- Heated windshield

- Wet weather gear

- Upgraded GAZ shock absorbers

- Nearly new tires

- New brake pads and shoes

 

Recent services done on the vehicle from service record file (oil has been chaned regularly):

Also, in the photos you will see the results from the dyno machine. Also, the front nose cone could use a polish to really make the paint shine.
