What could be wrong enough with a '64 plate to warrant its rebuild/refresh, unless it was a right off?

They did a race car to road car in Trading Up, and Mike had said the wanted to do another one so I guess this was it.

Strange to be an SV though if it's an ex race car?

People in the academy use SVs as well as S3s. Not everyone can fit in an S3!

Think the car is ex-Caterham Drift Acadamy, rather than a race car... they certainly run both S3s and SVs.

The Academy is S3 only, and all the core Caterham race series (Academy, Roadsport, Tracksport, Supersport, Graduates of all classes) are S3 only. But there are other mixed make/class racing that allows SVs. The Caterham drift experience car suggested is likely.

That's what I thought but I have been out of Caterham circles for a while and wondered if things had changed.

I stand corrected then! I'm sure someone here was talking about how competitive the SV was against the S3 in the academy. Perhaps it was the Graduates then?

I doubt it as Graduates are the previous years Academy cars, maybe in Magnificent Sevens series or similar

I wonder if it's the one behind me in this pic? Drove both on a slalom day.

They do adjust brake set up and they never past first gear on drift and slalom days.



Great fun.

The original ad did state that it was an experience Car with 300 miles on the clock the second ad had it down as 5000 miles
However a Kwak green Supersport with a 6 speed gearbox would be a great car to own!.

Thanks for posting that. The Caterham features in the promo video but curiously enough is not one of the featured cars on the WD website for the new series.

Oh well....we will just have to wait and see....
