Ive been looking at the prices of second hand caterhams and also what I would actually use the car for. Im living over in cologne in germany and luckily the nurburgring is an hour away. I use the tram everyday for work and have my civic for any other use. The caterham will be for a fun sunday drive and trackday use only.

Just wondering how user friendly it is buying an ex racer and what to look for with respects to them compared to the road cars, of course if anyone has one for sale please PM me smile

i know a couple of the local dealers and racers and one of them has got a few caterhams through the TUV test with no major issues. I was looking at an ex academy racer last weekend and thats what got me thinking more about them, Ive used k series engines in a couple of mini conversions and found them to be a great engine.
Going to get in touch with caterham in the uk as they have a gulf coloured one in stock so may have a look when im back in the uk next week smile
