Dealer photo, will grab my own soon enough.

Back in - this awesome looking, high-spec 260bhp Caterham SV with just 6000 miles on the clock. The car has been painted in metallic grey with new 620R style orange stripe.

The full specification includes:

• Raceline 2.3 Duratec 261bhp/188lb/ft - mapped by Northampton Motorsport
• Bespoke - 1 off billet removeable aluminium airbox
• Raceline dry sump and oil cooler
• LSD (4 trackdays since rebuild)
• 6 speed H pattern Caterham gearbox just rebuilt by Phil Stewart at R&R (4 track days since rebuild)
• Custom nickel blasted exhaust
• Battery cut off switch
• Caterham 6 point harnesses (new)
• Stack dash and shift lights
• Carbon dash, front and rear wings.
• Carbon rear light blocks
• Caterham leather seats in excellent condition
• Original Caterham adjustable height suspension
• New Powerflex polybushes throughout
• FIA bar
• Weather gear including brand new, never used half hood
• Lowered floors
• Caterham Apollo diamond cut 6" and 8" with good Avon ZZR's - medium compound
• Original build invoices

We were going for a 620R, but the finance company decided that for such a value, they were only prepared to give it to a home owner Oh well... this is a 260bhp NA engine that will be sure to keep me smiling - I've always preferred NA to forced induction

I asked about the possible need to silence the exhaust for certain track regulations... I was told that no, it's not too loud... it's the induction noise from the throttle bodies that trips the noise sensors and that's why it comes with a cover for the throttle bodies for those strict tracks

Ooooh, that's lovely. 261bhp in something as heavy as a paperclip will be a great laugh, enjoy

Superb, I'm not envious at all!

Someone needs to gut a Tesla and stuff what they can in one of these.

Battery life would be about 2 yards

Jealous =understatement !

 

[Diddums]

Battery life would be about 2 yards

About the same lifespan as a set of tyres then

 

[acemastr]

Those tires are toast lol, 1 too many heat cycles it seems

How do you see that?

Batteries in the back would probably make the front wheels lift off the ground.

Didn't know these could be road legal. I bet it's fun zipping away from traffic lights in one of these

 

[Maccy]

Looks awesome, enjoy!

 

[Uther]

That's going to be so much fun!

 

[Gaygle]

What a machine, congrats. Wish I had this kind of disposable cash!

The first Tesla was a battery powered Elise.
