Nothing a speaker or two can't fix according to most modern manufacturers

Another classic color scheme. It resonates well with a lot of people.

The garage setup for the residence is nice too...

I'm surprised that Caterham going with the classic look didn't go for the classic/raised/further back headlight mounts to match.

Are those 7in or 5 3/4 in headlight buckets?

Definitely lots of...

Very cool and exciting

Do you have any information or history of the car I might not have from that owner? I find it curious that he never registered it and just tracked it occasionally over the ~10 years.

Sounds fun. Unfortunately I'm too far away and it's too cold for NE crowd to partake

These should be regular 10 spoke series 3/SV wheels. They came in square setup with 6in wheels and 6/8 setup. I believe this is the 6/8

CSR had identical wheels with a different offset.

They...

Full disclosure upfront: I'm not a particularly electric supporter. I'll embrace it as the time comes, but I will play devils advocate for now.

Not sure what NYT article you had in mind but I...

While there is A LOT of good factual information in this thread, it feels we are having a 2005 conversation.


Whether the system can support it or not, the shift is happening.

Huh. Small world. I've traced down the ownership lineage of the car in order to battle the title issue.

The WA owner left CA with it and then sold it to another CA guy who knew of the car. The WA...

Quaife was installed on the car back in 2001 with the Caterham dealership in VA and is still the primary unit of the car. The spare 5 speed remains a spare.

All I'm going to say is that the car was white (see avatar) and I enjoyed my trip to California...:blueangel:

Was not a true R500, but rather a worked a SLR, also needed a bit of work...

Thats a good link

And Jaguar saying they are...

Certain generation of the keys are Land Rover key blanks. I presume the lock cylinder follows suit as well.

Those are very cool pictures. Thanks for sharing! I thought Arch was responsible for just the frame but didn't realize that they make most body panels as well.

That JPE and the history behind it...

For me, in theory, towing is towing. Once it's all setup further tow is not an issue and I have friends in NC I can see along the way.

In practice I haven't tested the new tow rig which is still...

The coolant reservoir cap on the square style reservoir is from a Mini/Land Rover (Defender too I think)

Source for the reservoir I'm not sure on.


Globe/Ball reservoir is from VW I believe. ...

So I've heard this somewhere over the years of reading up on Caterhams and it stuck with me.

Caterham doesn't make any of its parts, but it's more of a bucket of sourcing parts from different...

Do you coral clowders of feral cats for a living?

John, thanks for the update. I don't miss those transfer/issues/stressful days. It's very stressful and hectic.

Thanks for that. I'm looking forward to seeing how reliability will be for these in ~5 years from now and how much depreciation will hit and debating on buying/finding a CPO one with likely some kind...
