Caterham article in European Car 8/11

[Alaskossie]

Picked up a copy of European Car Magazine (August (!) 2011 issue) today, and on p. 80 there is a 6-page spread, with photos and text, of assembling Caterham SV, "Clockwork Orange," at Caterham USA in Denver. It has a 6-speed and a 2.0 liter, 220 hp Duratec. Fairly superficial article, but enticing nonetheless.

 

Ben Wofford had told me a number of months ago that a fellow who lives in Denver and who sometimes writes for European Car was following the assembly of this car. i think it now belongs to someone on this list who lives in New York State (don't recall who).

 

On p. 88, there is a photo of Ben (though unidentified) at the wheel, somewhere west of Denver....

Hi Tom,

 

Thanks for pointing out the article. This is my car so the build was about a year ago. I'll have to go find a copy.

I was waiting in an office and picked up about a two month old car magazine ( not sure which one, R&T C&D Motor-whatever?)that was talking about how Ford was pushing it's small Ecoboost motors but hadn't done any real promo about how it was doing some major rework ( read more HP and better fuel milage) on the standard duratec that was actually the most used motor in it's small car fleet. Most people aren't spending the extra cash on the Hi-teck EB motors, and the artical said the reworked duratec was almost as good and much cheaper. Probably a bolt in replacement and cheaper than a rebuild for some of the old tired Duratecs.

Should have played the nasty guy and ripped the article out but Mom raised me better. LOL.
