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.
