Originally a factory-built Supersport, this car has been substantially upgraded over recent years into something approximating R300/ Superlight R specification, with many desirable features - and room for further development.

Crucially most of this work has been completed within the last 2-3000 miles - so this is not a tired track or race car - or something needing recommissioning. It’s clean, tidy, turn key and ready for adventure. Nothing to do other than add fuel!

Body: Fully bare metalled and repainted beautifully in “Firecracker Yellow” winter 2025 at Listers main agent bodyshop. New bonnet. Carbon wings all round. New badges. LED lights all round. SBFS carbon vinyl boot cover.

Dry sump with gold pump recently serviced at Titan. Direct to head Jenvey ITBs with Bernard Scouse airbox, Emerald K6+ ECU. Idles perfectly with 175bhp (dyno sheet available) - on standard exhaust. Bosch high flow injectors. Cooling system comprehensively upgraded. 190bhp+ easily available with a different exhaust.

Interior: Lowered driver’s floor, will come with 2x Caterham fibreglass Tillett seats, harnesses, SLR cage (freshly painted 2026), quick release wheel, cut down aeroscreen. Stack oil pressure gauge.

Suspension, steering, brakes: Wide track with race suspension, Bilstein dampers (Megagrad spec). 22% quick rack. New track rods and ends. Recent new brake calipers/ discs front and rear. New hubs and wheel bearings. Uprated Caterham racing master cylinder.

Some spares available at extra cost, original solid lifter head with Supersport cams (refurbished by DVAPower), Rover ECU + inlet, TF135 cams etc.

Overall an excellent example, thoughtfully upgraded with all the right bits and ready for summer fun!The lightweight flywheel enables the short-stroke K to rev like a motorcycle! The ITBs make it sound like one, too.
