R500 EVO SV

Hi all,

I have just noticed the yellow R500 evo SV for sale at caterham South. Does anyone know anything about this car?
Being such a rare car I'm sure it's been discussed before ?

Thanks

Do you understand the life expectancy (time between engine refresh) of a K compared to a Duratec - especially for high powered versions?

I think so....The K series needs more regular oil/filter changes and refreshing apparently every 3000 miles...
As an ex Radical owner this isn't an alien concept to me.

Obviously this makes the higher powered K series a much more expensive proposition to run than a Duratec. Is the 2.0 K series similar to running the 1.8 K R500 ?

From a rareity point of view I think the R500 EVO would be a very interesting car to own, but will it be so fragile as to be unusable in reality for a couple of track days a year ?

I'm interested to hear peoples opinions on this.

Thanks
