Description:

Outstanding Caterham – fully specified, with breathtaking performance.
Beautifully presented in eye catching Porsche GT3 Green, ‘The Toad’ (K7 7OAD) is a special car.
Briefly: 303bhp 2400 Duratec on SBD Throttle Bodies / 6-speed Sadev sequential gearbox / Freestyle inboard suspension / Quantum Shocks / Wide track rear / Edwards Motorsport exhaust and manifold / DTA S100 Pro ECU.
This is a Series 3 car built and registered in 2005. It was thoroughly refurbished in 2010 – with a repainted, updated chassis and all new panels by Arch Motors – and then meticulously rebuilt.
Since I purchased the car in 2014 I have progressively updated it. Early in 2015 I replaced the 2 litre Duratec and MBE ecu with a 2400cc Duratec and DTA ecu and Playskool paddle shift and then, towards the end of the 2015 season, I replaced the Quaife sequential box with the Sadev version as it’s lighter, stronger (and quieter in use!).
The car has had a relatively easy life – prior to my purchase it was used only a few times and since then I have used it only for a handful of hillclimbs each season.
I had it on the Northampton Motorsport Rolling Road in September 2016 – it was showing 303 bhp at the flywheel with loads of torque. Dyno printout available to view.
It currently has an 8 litre ‘hillclimb’ tank fitted, but a larger tank could be fitted so that it can be used as a flying road car or fierce trackday partner. The manual shift linkage will also be provided with the car - should the new owner wish to retro fit that instead.
K7 7OAD is available now and represents a great buy for an enthusiastic driver.
As always, the sum of the parts, build and ongoing maintenance is significantly greater than the asking price.
If you are seeking a head-turning, buttock-clenching monster that will take your breath away then look no further.
