Does anyone know the history of this caterham?

I don't suppose any of you are near West Sussex? Would be handy to have someone with some real knowledge and experience by my side when I go to look at it.

We're just round the corner (RH20 4HS) happy to help

Hi Ruby,

No, it belonged to a chap I met a couple of years ago and bought some bits off - in fact i have the original engine from this car sitting in my garage! I kept in touch as he asked for my opinion on the S2 Exiges and the toyota lump.

Cheers

I hear you talked to Debs at the A/O meeting - check my profile for the answer to your question

Appreciate the offer Ben but it doesn't look like I'll be going for this one now.

Can I bump this up.

Did we conclude this was a car worth looking at?

Right, I spoke to the guy at the garage and he has informed me that a chap named Simon Erland did the conversion. He was happy to pass on his contact details.

Hey, Simon is a spot on guy - done some clever stuff with cranks - a mate has a development engine in his Motorsport Elise that Simon built....it has...ermmm...a little more power than standard He's also a perfectionist.

Took you a while to chime in didn't it Simon?..you must be losing your errrr touch....although some might say you never had it...

Hi Ruby,

Sorry, mate. Just noticed you replied to my comment about fezza ownership again!! Glad to see you managed to sort out a decent deal and add to your stable... Hope you and Jennie had a good Christmas and enjoy the New Year.

Cheers

LOL!

I only noticed this because of the plot's posted up on Dynoplot recently, and being a cynical person like I am, I wondered why post them now, so I guessed somebody was trying to sell something...

I actually feel sorry for the poor sod's that get landed with this engine, as you know it's just going to cause pain and heartache...
