What have I bought ?

[Weltmeister]

Just taken in on PX against my Exige a Caterham but not really enough knowledge to understand it all yet:

It is/was new assembled by the factory in Dec 2001 & 1st reg in Jan 2002. It has new MOT & has done 5000 miles

It says it was an K-Series 1.6 Academy Car with:-

Black paint
Black harnesses
Silver stripe
Black pack ?? wtf
Full cage
Momo quick release
Starter button
Adjustable dampers
Plumbed Extinguisher
Honeycomb tank protection
2 x Composite race seats
Side screen with mirrors, no hood but tonneau

It was set up to Roadsport "B" geo ??

It also had:- 1/2" rear anti roll bar--Why is this reqd ?
Wide track & wide track front anti roll bar kit
Limited slip diff
Mechanical Supersport engine upgrade ?? Whats this
Better exhaust & heat wrap inc headers

The bills look like someone spent c£23k on this little car. Is it good value at £13k ?? Answers on a post card please

Just researched it a bit more. Car was new on the road in 2002 and used in beginners category that year [Academy ??] It was then upgraded with LSD/Wide Track/BHP and used for a few hillclimbs. Sadly the original owner passed away in 2005 [possibly ill for a bit beforehand]so the car changed ownership in 2004 for normal use by an owner local to me. It recently became avail from a dealer mate of mine[not Lotus/Caterham] who fancied an Exige for himself. So it was easier to swap plus some dosh for him than sell & buy.
Cheers
