Help find me a Caterham SV please

[zed4]

Hello Caterham owners,

My brother and I are trying to find a Caterham SV, ideally with the 1.8 K series engine fitted, something between 2002 and 2005 but will consider anything as long as it’s an SV. Mileage and colour aren’t too important as long as it’s in good condition. It must be an SV and ideally mostly standard.

We’re looking to spend up to £15,000, we’re in no rush but thought I’d ask here to see if anyone is considering selling. We’re based near Southampton. We are aware of the red one on Autotrader, for which we offered the asking price, but we’ve been messed around by the seller unfortunately.

Thanks for any help.

Dan

This car is perfect, we even went to view it yesterday, but it's sold. We would have bought it there and then otherwise!

This car we are considering. I really want the original wheels, but I see he does still have them. Also wanted all the wet weather gear included at this price, the one at the dealer does. A lot higher mileage than the other, but maybe he'd negotiate on price/extras.

Way over budget unfortunately, and we'd rather a standard car really.

Thanks for your help though!

Any thoughts on the yellow one at £15,500? Does anyone know this car?

zed4... I've an SV (too recent for you and not for sale! ) and I have yet to use use my hood - so if you do get one without weather gear let me know and you'd be welcome to make me an offer for the hood and hood sticks!

Have you tried Callum at www.sevensandclassics.com ?

Mine will be available shortly.

Black SV, completely rebuilt from bare chassis by Arch with a load of new parts.

Give Ben a call at http://www.ptsportscars.com/
He may know of one coming up - they don't always make it to the website.

We have spoken to PT Sports Cars, not yet spoken to Seven Classics though, thanks.

The other yellow one is sold too. Seems there aren't actually any left for sale! I will just have to wait.

SVs tend to hold their value so you may find you'll have to wait to get what you want with your budget. You certainly won't lose much should you find one though.

Will be selling my SV soon. Sadly Just putting the advert together and getting fresh pictures. 1.8VVC SV labrador green 2003 160 bhp with a very good spec. Will be more than your budget though fella

Email me via my profile if your want details before i post. Car is in Germany with me at the moment as either selling it here or UK....

Hi,

I am selling the red one i Aberdeenshire... just noted you wanted "a standard car" but apart from the wheels and the kill switch on the dash the car is standard caterham spec... oh, I did add a mechanical oil pressure gauge but you should do that anyways.

I have a set of Caterham 13" 8spoke anthracite wheels that could be supplied.

Price always negotiable.
