Caterham
Classic - A truly affordable Sportscar
The Caterham
Classic represents one of the best value sports cars on the market. With
its low initial cost, proven reliability, meagre running costs and low
depreciation, the cost of owning this true British Sportscar has made
it more affordable than ever.
But low costs
don't mean we have skimped with the specification. Included in the standard
Classic package is a modern 1.4 litre 16 valve all aluminium engine, 5
speed gearbox and sophisticated de Dion rear suspension. And in line with
the traditional appeal of this model, the car is supplied as standard
with "Brooklands" Aeroscreens.
Like all
our models, the Classic has never rested on its laurels and has always
been subject to ongoing development, with all aspects of the car designed
to ensure the benefits of modern engineering. The 1.4 litre K Series power
unit produces 100 bhp from its 16-valve DOHC design running on MEMS controlled
injection system. With a healthy 107 lbft of torque, the performance of
the Classic is impressive, reaching 60 mph from a standing start in less
than 7 seconds and going on to reach a top speed 110 mph.
The transmission
is taken care of by a 5-speed syncromesh gearbox and with 5th gear being
an overdrive ratio, this gearbox is ideal for customers with an emphasis
on road use. However, for those drivers wishing to obtain the best from
the high revving engine, and perhaps looking for the odd foray onto the
track, the Caterham designed and built 6-speed close ratio box is always
an option.
Additional
Equipment
In
addition to the standard level of equipment, some customers may wish to
consider the following
• Full body paint, either in solid or metallic paint.
• 6
speed gearbox
• Leather seats
• Alloy wheels
• Heater
• Full screen and weather equipment.
PRICE : owing to fluctuations in the GBP the exact selling price can only be calculated in the week preceeding the order. The price will remain fixed once the second payment has been made
