About this car

A 1997 Caterham Roadsport 135 in the S3 chassis, fitted with the 1.6-litre K-Series in Supersport tune. High-lift cams bring 135 bhp and a rev range that runs to 7,400rpm, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed Ford Type-9 gearbox and an open differential. Caterham quotes 0–60mph in 5.5 seconds.

It left the factory with clamshell wings but has been converted to carbon-effect cycle wings. The original clamshells come with the car, so it can be returned to its first look. Finished in Exocet Red, it has a chrome rollbar, heated windscreen, full weather equipment, black leather seats and 16-inch anthracite HPC alloys on Toyo Proxes T1R tyres.

The odometer shows 32,000 miles. The last keeper owned it for just over 12 years and covered about 15,000 miles in that time, with regular servicing.
