Morning caterham enthusiasts!

Thoroughly enjoyed my 6 years in the fold, but it’s been 2 years since I sold my beloved 1998 175bhp k series car. It’s a nice day here in Kent so going to clear my shed out. I’m going to be finding parts that need a new home.

Where does one buy / sell caterham parts these days?
PH used to have a parts area in the classifieds, but I can’t find it on my phone.
I don’t do Facebook so that rules out marketplace.
If all else fails I’ll have to find my eBay log in..
Any advice most welcome! smile

Well, as much as you don't do facebook, as far as I can see, most of the caterham stuff seems to move through a couple of facebook groups (not the 'open' marketplace, that's a hive of tttery..)

Agreed, the FB Caterham specific For Sale group is definitely the best place. Stuff usually sells very quickly and with the minimum of hassle.

What parts do you have for sale. I may be interested in some as I have not bought any parts for at least a week.....

DM me the list of parts or list the parts on PH and tell people to look there.
As others says Facebook Caterham specific market place.

I'd agree, except I asked to join, explained why, but that no, I didn't have a Caterham, nor was I buying one, but I wanted to clear out. After a couple of days of delibration I was denied entry, so instead of giving away most stuff and selling a few bits to the Caterham community.

Shame really. Comes across as tttish, having been part of the Caterham community for 15 years. Ended up giving most of it to a lad building a hotrod instead.

Gumtree is free.

There are a couple of for sale pages. One is free of the particular 'personality'..
