Clearly the Caterham 7 fraternity have different values for scrappy parts, see here :

LMAO £700 for a 9 year old engine!

But what makes it worse is the

'that doesn't sound to much'

part.

There is a £1900 gearbox included in that, probably a T50?. I've just looked at his webshots, his front shocks are upside down. Bet they weren't expensive either. I've got some orange ovvies like his pit crew from when I was in Guantanamo Bay, rather fetching I think. They were a quid off the car boot actually but don't tell anybody.

Not a T50,the AE101 is FWD. Could be a 6-Speed though.

Thats not 700 quid for an engine either, it's some parts from the engine. If that was the 20V and a 6-Speed 'box, that's a very very good price.

Actually not his pit crew - they are Marshals. I have a set of those overalls and they cost me over £30 - but they are flame proof which is useful when welding!
