How many duratec r500s??
Discussion
I believe that only the 500s have a build number plaque on the dash.
I think that quite a few of the 500s have gone overseas. But at 43 built already for the expensive model, it is clearly a winner for Caterham (I think that they only made around 100 of the old 500 over 6 years).
Looks nice Martin.

Martin,
Mine was one of the first few cars, in fact it was the very first R500 as a kit.
My car number plaque is 008, so I guess there were at least 7 cars out there before mine, although several were CC's own cars I think.
So if yours is 43 they have been doing pretty well for sales of Duratec R500's then.
Out of interest that's £1763000.00 in sales at the average selling price of £41K.
Not a bad little earner for Caterham then!!

Martin,
Wow that's a big number, if we worked out the same amount of cars at that amount it would be - £2021000.00
And remember that's just new R500's as well.
Seems Caterham might have a runaway success ( and profits!!) on their hands then!!
Have fun in your car, and watch out for those gearbox oil leaks!1

The chassis build number is on the seatbelt mounting post behind the driver's seat. There seem to be 4 different types - the two jigs used for building S3 cars, one for the SV and one for the CSR. It will be stamped into the metal.

Thanks - my R400 is number 31 and that was 9 months into production so maybe twice that number now. The best part of £1,000,000 pa on top of the R500 sales.The chassis build number is on the seatbelt mounting post behind the driver's seat.
