Bottrill Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 **SOLD** With a heavy heart I have decided to part with my 2003 Caterham R300 SUPERLIGHT (Road car from new). 1.8 Rover K-Series with the desirable Roller Barrel Throttle Bodies (160bhp) Reflex Blue with black pack. Full history from Caterham or Specialist (mainly NJ Potter who myself and previous owner have used throughout ownership) with detailed folder of servicing receipts and parts purchased along with spares that have been kept over the years. Last serviced on 15th April 2019 along with inspection which is detailed in the original Caterham service book. 12 months MOT 30300 miles Two keys/fobs 6 previous owners.I purchased the car in February 2016 off a fellow Lotus 7 club member. Many of the previous owners have been Lotus Seven Club Members and the car has been featured in Low Flying as a member’s profile article twice.The car carries all the original Superlight parts (6 speed close ratio gearbox, four pot front calipers, wide track, Superlight adjustable platform suspension, 6” front, 8” rear Superlight wheels, carbon dash with ACES shift lights, push button start, carbon front wings, QR wheel (recently re-trimmed in charcoal alcantara with a yellow stitch), QR harnesses. The car also has the addition of carbon nose cone & rear arches along with leather touring seats, full weather equipment with heater, yellow Caterham gauges, lowered drivers floor, FIA roll bar, LSD, and a 12v socket which is also hard wired for a battery conditioner. The car also has Vernier cam pulleys fitted to aid timing, custom Goodfabs exhaust with FIA race CAT, and an SPA oil and water temperature gauge. The front dampers have also been rebuilt over winter by Bilstein due to a weeping seal.For those that read the New Member profile article in May 2016’s Low Flying, you will see that this was a life long purchase and as such the car has been looked after both mechanically and cosmetically which hopefully the pictures show.There is the option to purchase the aero screen and SPA mirrors separately.Please call after 7pm during the week and no texts please. Happy to respond/send additional photos/details via email. I would much prefer it to stay within the club so I will advertise on here first before looking at other websites in a couple of weeks. Genuine reason for sale. £20500Lee: 07793050299 (South Derbyshire)lee_bottrill@hotmail.comhttp://s3.photobucket.com/user/c0151198/library/Caterham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangomikeromeo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 C’mon Ben! We can hear the temptation and dilemma in your keystrokes....That love could be rekindled.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubbster Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 IMHO one of the best models of Caterham for all round use. If I ever get tempted back into ownership this is the kind of thing I'd be looking for. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenF Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I would love to have it back, but it would be near impossible to register here in Germany!I think the R300 and R400 Ks are the best of all the 7s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
