Today is the day! I sent the check, receipt confirmed, and I’ve now got a deposit on a build slot in December 2013 with delivery sometime in early 2014. Final build is:
- Ford 2.0L Duratec (~175 HP)
- Limited slip differential
- Standard S3 chassis
- Ventilated front discs & quad piston calipers
- 15” wheels / Avon CR500 tyres 7”f + 7”r including superlight suspension
- Weather equipment & carbon interchangeable aeroscreen
- Black Pack
- Black aero filler cap
- Spare wheel & carrier
- Push button start
- 12 volt power socket
- Trackday rollover bar
- Race harnesses
And then there’s the paint. Caterham F1 green with a yellow noseband and bonnet stripe. Looks kinda like this …

All-in-all I know I overspent. But I figure if you’re going to the trouble of actually building a car then by god I’m going to build the one I want!
