You couldn't get it much further back, the bellhousing is up against the tunnel / firewall already!

I'd say it's pretty well priced...

Looking at the spec and the fact it's a Caterham I think it's very well priced, especially if you have a Moto Moronic to exchange I'd snatch his hand off.

The Caterham is designed as a high polar moment car.

Is it just me but in some of the photos the steering looks way out, nearside wheel has lots more lock than the offside.

£250?

snakebelly - 5/8/10 at 01:14 PM

As it should, with correct Ackerman geometry.

try it on your tin-top

well it is a genuine caterham and the Quaife 4 speed gearbox alone costs over £1,500, with a 2lt zetec wich i think is about £2K(had a quick look the site http://www.raceline.co.uk) with a nice sump with only 35k miles and dont forget it has full weather gear, i would say its a very good price!
