Child on-way... Caterham might have to go...

[Charley Farley]

Hello,

All being well, sprog number one should be landing early next year.

As such, the Catering Van is probably going to have to go to free up some cash.

I know that the Classifieds are a good place to benchmark, but what do you think it might be worth if sold in the spring?
2002 1800K Supersport in Caterham yellow
145 BHP
Black-pack
5 Spd
15k miles
FIA roll-bar (only done one track-day)
13" black minilites with 888's (rears only done 500 miles)
52mm throttle body
Lightweight fly wheel
Apollo system
Detatchable Mono
Carbon Front wings
Leather seats

In lovely order & my absolute pride & joy.

Picture included in my profile (before FIA bar & carbon wings)

Any ideas much appreciated.

Cheers

CF

Hi,

I bought a pretty much identical spec 2001 (51) car about 2 months ago, only differences were that mine had:

6 spd gearbox
Soft bits for sevens hood
8 spoke black 13" alloys
6 spare black minilites
Wide track suspension

Paid £12500 for it which I thought was a bit on the low side but didn't complain!

Hope this helps,

Jon

Don't do it !! My advice is (and I know this from experience) to embark on a mad engine upgrade over the winter. When baby arrives your car will be in bits and therefore unsellable. You won't be able to devote any time to putting it back together for a year or so, and by then your funds will have stabilised & you get to keep the 7.

I did this.... it works.

Pfft My wife announced she was pregnant with our third child and I went and bought my Caterham. Stop being so unimaginative.

"That's a Caterham, daddy used to have one of those"

or

"brrm brrm, that's a racing car like your car daddy"

I wanted to get married. I thought I would need loads of money. I figured it would be wise to sell the Caterham. The only problem was I couldn't sell the car with no working engine. So I got married and kept the car. My wife got pregnant as planned, so I thought it would be wise to sell the car. Because I would need to grow up anyway. And I would probably need the money. Kids need money you know... That's why I have started a Duratec conversion project. Makes sense, doesn't it?
