Wanted to buy: Newer Kent powered Caterham

A customer of mine is looking to buy a newer Kent powered (i.e. crossflow) Caterham for street and occasional track use. The ideal car would be as follows:

 

under 15K miles

Left Hand drive

'95 or newer

de Dion

wide track front end

cycle fenders

can be 4 speed or 5 speed and it's not a problem if the motor is somewhat "tired" since I will be going through it in pretty short order.

 

Fair price paid for the right car and if you are looking to sell a Caterham that's not quite as described above feel free to let me know. Not interested in Zetec, Duratec or other more modern engined cars. Craig (330) 807-0742 or chima7@aol.com

What is the fair price range for the "right" car? 27-30K?

Nice find Rikker! I live 1 mile from where the car is kept in Manhattan. It was originally built by a gentleman in Hackensack NJ area and sold about 1.5-2 years ago (I think) to the car club. I last saw it 2 years ago and it does not look any different in the photos. I know a few of the members at the car club and they all talk highly of enjoying driving the car (good fun, no track work at all, no major mechanical problems) and the club does maintain its vehicles well. The previous owner was a member on here from memory but have not seen him checked in for a long time.

 

If anyone wants me to check it out for them I can easily do so and I have met the GM of the club (good guy!).
