Morning all
There is a 1998 superlight for sale in the classifieds ( number 53 ) which interests me. It's a cat d, which would bother me with most cars but as many if the caterhams I am looking at have a racing history, I'm less concerned so long as the repair is good . It's done 53,000 miles so I have enquired about service history / rebuilds. Does this car sound familiar to anyone?

Sorry for the lack of a link, I'm struggling a bit with my iPhone

Thanks chaps . What would you budget for a pre-emptive rebuild on an engine like this ?

So it all depends on if he has had any engine work done I guess. Hopefully I'll get an update soon. I guess at these miles diff and shocks and possibly even the gearbox are likely to need attention unless they are already been done. It also seems to wearing different tyres at the front , which seems odd. Still like it though!
