Nope the K series R400 race car was.................a K series

Two years later at the same race, Caterham’s K-Series powered R400 blitzed a host of Porsches and BMWs to win its class by 10 laps, leading the authorities to ban the Seven from racing again. But did that stop the Seven embarrassing more expensive big name marques?

From this page http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=396... from memory the C400 was around 2005

I thought the C400 was just the name for the first Duratec powered R400 race cars - just after they switched over from the K-Series??

As above - the C400 was the Evolution of the K series R400 race car. They weren't very good to be honest - never handled as well as the K car, and the engine was pretty uninspiring. Can't imagine there are many left standard though.
