I have been driving, racing, hillclimbing, building and fixing Caterhams for over 10 years and am an Engineer by background. This car has been built to a very high spec with no expense spared and has never been used since being rebuilt in its current spec. Thousands of pounds have been spent and is an incredible bargain at £12500. Reason for sale is I’ve bought a Radical and after a year and half building the Caterham and 10 fantastic years of competing in them it’s time to move on.
