The car has a V5C (an original Caterham Blackbird) and so can be made road legal if desired.

This was one of two identical cars built over the last 2 years with the intention of circuit racing with Hayabusa engines.

Absolutely no expense was spared and only the best quality parts and materials used. Cost of the build was over £50K !!

With the right driver this car could easily be at the front of the CSCC Magnificent 7’s race series.

Its sister car and another closely related Caterham Hayabusa are due to join the Mag 7's series this year and show the big Duratec cars what bike engine Caterhams are capable of due to the superb Hayabusa power trains and much lighter overall car weight.

A change in my personal circumstances mean that I am very regrettably offering this car up for sale.

Please feel free to call me to ask any questions that you may have, and / or discuss different options etc
